On Friday, September 12th, 2025, acclaimed producer Debbie Durkin once again crafted an unforgettable experience with her annual ECOLUXE Endless Summer Festival. Timed with the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, this invitation-only gathering has become one of Emmy Week’s most anticipated traditions—an afternoon where Hollywood’s brightest names and creative leaders come together to celebrate, connect, and give back.

The guest list was as dynamic as ever, bringing together nominees, Olympians, pro athletes, actors, and entertainment insiders.

The afternoon unfolded with a swirl of activations and experiences designed to capture the spirit of the season. Attendees stopped for sunlit portraits with celebrity photographer David Christopher Lee before exploring wellness showcases from dermaFIT, the Trifecta Red Light Therapy Bed, Lumara Systems, and Bioharmonic Technologies. Fashion found its place with women’s designs by celebrity favorite Nikki Lund, alongside sustainable home luxuries from ettitude’s bamboo bedding collection and skincare essentials from Man Labs Skincare.

Of course, no gathering would be complete without culinary delights and a toast to the occasion. Guests enjoyed artisan foods and Southern sweets from Anita’s Kitchen Co., pairing them with cocktails, wine tastings, and refreshing mocktails.

Still, at its heart, this was more than just a celebration of style and entertainment. The ECOLUXE Endless Summer Festival continued its longstanding tradition of philanthropy by supporting Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue Ranch. With puppies and dogs on site ready for foster or adoption, the event brought joy and meaning beyond the spotlight, highlighting the importance of compassion within the entertainment community.
