During the celebrations surrounding the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, acclaimed producer Debbie Durkin hosted her annual ECOLUXE Endless Summer Festival, welcoming television and film talent, athletes, entertainment industry professionals and notable guests for an afternoon of wellness, sustainability, community and connection.
Held Friday, September 11, 2026, at a private residence in Beverly Hills, the invitation-only gathering marked the 19th year of the ECOLUXE tradition. Along with its focus on bringing people together during one of Hollywood's busiest weekends, the event continued its commitment to supporting Wagmor Pets Dog Rescue.

The afternoon brought together a diverse group of entertainment and industry names, including Gilles Marini, Jesse Kove, Obba Babatundé, Juju Brener, Mila Brener, Shirly Brener, Jasmine Davis, Nadège August, Porscha Coleman, Joseph Gatt, Terrence Terrell, Brandi Vanderbeek, Matt Vanderbeek, Brenda Mejia, Marc Anthony Nicolas, Jarrod Bunch, Jessica Ross, Rosie McDonald, Carrie Bernans, Crystal Jumps, Patricia Kara, Adam Waheed and RJ Cyler.
Wellness was woven throughout the experience. Patriox Water provided oxygen-rich water for guests throughout the afternoon, while Relax Sauna showcased its precision far-infrared portal sauna and proprietary technology designed to support detoxification, recovery, stress reduction and overall well-being.
The festival also offered an opportunity to discover brands spanning beauty, self-care and lifestyle. College Girl Cherished introduced its monthly care boxes created to provide love, spiritual support and self-care to girls in college dorms. Guests also met five-year-old entrepreneur Aria, creator of Colors by Aria and its color-changing lip oil, Ari Heart.
Beauty became an interactive part of the afternoon through Libertad Vida Beauty, founded by former cosmetic chemist Esme. The brand hosted its popular "Make Your Own Lip Gloss Bar," giving guests the chance to create their own lip gloss while engaging directly with the brand.
The culinary offerings brought another layer to the summer-inspired setting. Guests enjoyed elevated bites from Petros on Sunset alongside refreshing mango salsa from Strictly Vegan. The Jamaica Tourism Board showcased its island destination in Los Angeles and gifted attendees its renowned Blue Mountain Coffee.
Pet wellness was another important part of the event. My Best Bud, a patented California-based brand, educated guests about its science-based CBD pet products and provided gifting.

Guests were also treated to a curated gift bag featuring products from Honey & Stone
Beauty, Marci's Pet Kitchen, Fayah Streetwear Sunglasses, ettitude and ECOLUXE merchandise. Throughout the afternoon, DJ Paxy supplied the music, adding to the relaxed and social atmosphere.
Beyond the entertainment and lifestyle experiences, the event's charitable mission remained central. Wagmor Pets Dog Rescue had dogs on site available for foster and/or adoption, giving guests the opportunity to connect with animals in need of loving homes and highlighting the importance of rescue.
For nearly two decades, Debbie Durkin's ECOLUXE Endless Summer Festival has brought together entertainment, wellness, sustainability and community during the Emmy celebrations. Its continued support of Wagmor Pets Dog Rescue gives the annual gathering an added sense of purpose, creating a celebration that extends beyond the afternoon itself and helps shine a light on rescue, fostering and adoption.
