VIP Opening Day of the Show House is Thursday, November 6, 2025, and it opens to the public on Friday, November 7, for three weeks, closing November 23. The location is the same property as in 2024, 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard. The sprawling French Renaissance-style estate sits on two acres between Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek and the future Four Seasons Hotel & Residences. HN Capital Partners acquired the 25,000-square-foot property, which was once intended to become Dallas’ first Mandarin Oriental hotel, in 2021 and is still in the planning phase for its future use. VIP Opening Day tickets start at $500. General tickets start at $50.

The annual Kips Bay President’s Dinner is Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at Neiman Marcus Downtown, bringing together leaders in the design industry and supporters of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas. Tickets start at $2,000.

For more than 50 years, the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club has produced a dazzling Decorator Show House on the Upper East Side in New York City. The event, which doubles as the nonprofit’s biggest fundraiser, is a boon for both its host city and the designers chosen to participate. In 2017, the elite event expanded to Palm Beach, then to Dallas in 2020. The Show House benefits both Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, which provides young people with educational and developmental programs in New York City, as well as Dallas nonprofits Dwell with Dignity and The Crystal Charity Ball.
