In March 2026, Holiday House makes its long-anticipated Florida debut with Holiday House Wellington, bringing its celebrated philanthropic designer showhouse to Palm Beach County for the first time. Long associated with Manhattan and the Hamptons, Holiday House expands its national footprint with a landmark presentation set in Wellington, a community renowned for its equestrian heritage and embraced by the greater Palm Beach community.
Founded by designer and breast cancer survivor Iris Dankner, Holiday House was created to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the largest private funder of breast cancer research worldwide. Since its inception, Holiday House has raised millions of dollars while becoming one of the design world’s most anticipated cultural events, seamlessly blending exceptional interiors with meaningful philanthropy.
The 2026 presentation will feature two simultaneous designer showhouses located within Farrell Estates Wellington, an exclusive new development by The Farrell Companies in the Palm Beach Polo Golf & Country Club. A curated roster of leading designers will transform the residences into immersive interiors that reflect Wellington’s equestrian elegance alongside Palm Beach’s relaxed sophistication. Each space will present a distinct point of view, from intimate retreats to light-filled entertaining areas and refined outdoor living spaces.
The season opens with a glamorous Opening Night Gala on March 3, 2026, offering an exclusive first look at both homes while bringing together designers, patrons, equestrians, philanthropists, and community leaders in support of breast cancer research. Public tours will follow from March 4 through May 3, 2026, complemented by a vibrant calendar of special events and gatherings throughout the season.
Event leadership underscores the caliber and significance of the presentation, with Christian Siriano serving as Honorary Chair and Jean Shafiroff as Philanthropy Chair. The event is co-chaired by Andrea Stark, Jayne Chase, Iris Dankner, and Campion Platt, bringing together leaders from the worlds of design, fashion, and philanthropy.
As Holiday House enters an exciting new chapter in South Florida, Holiday House Wellington promises to be a must-see destination where design, philanthropy, and community converge, celebrating the power of creativity to inspire connection, generosity, and lasting impact.
