Junior League of Hartford Designer Show House

The Designer Show House is the Junior League of Hartford’s signature fundraising event, and over the years has raised more than $1.7 million to support charitable projects and programs in the Greater Hartford Community. This highly anticipated event occurs every three years, and is unlike any event in Central Connecticut.

Every Show House, the Junior League spends many months searching for a notable home or estate in the Greater Hartford area, and selects designers to makeover the interior and grounds. After transformation, the public is invited to view the grand home that has been redesigned from the inside out. The Designer Show House is more than a home tour, it is an experience. Come see how dozens of talented designers from across the region transformed 820 Prospect Avenue, a 1902 Tudor estate in Hartford's historic West End. 

Funds raised from this event are used to fuel the League’s mission and charitable projects for the next 3 years. Our primary focus in the community is addressing the impact of systemic poverty on women and families in Greater Hartford. Funds raised at the Show House are deployed in grants to nonprofits making a difference against systemic poverty such as Journey Home, Inc. and the Diaper Bank of Connecticut, as well as in our own service projects.
