Event check-in, the morning reception, luncheon and shopping boutique are all held at the event hub which is in Newport Beach. Homes are located at various locations in Newport Beach and Corona del Mar.

All the homes are privately owned and are generously shared by homeowners for our event.

Tickets are sold on the CDM Home Tour website via Eventbrite beginning after Thanksgiving and are available until we sell out.

Our tickets have sold out the last few years. After sell-out, we open our waitlist. Be sure to join the waitlist MULTIPLE times if you need more than one ticket. For example, if you need 3 tickets, join the waitlist 3 times. You will be contacted by email if a ticket comes available. Links for waitlist tickets expire after 4 hours so be sure to use an email address you check frequently. We do typically have a lot of movement on our waitlist especially close to the event date.
