HIGHLIGHTS

• BPNA is bringing back one of the beloved events over the decades.

• Walk through one of Long Beach’s most iconic, historic neighborhoods, our very own Bluff Park Historic District. – Our docent-led tour will highlight more than 20 buildings and span more than a century of architecture grandeur — from 1905 Craftsman cottages to Mid-Century Modern showpieces.

• Hear the stories behind the homes: oil fortunes, Hollywood stars, a girlhood that shaped the L.A. Music Center, decorative lampposts, and a fight that saved the oceanfront (at least temporarily) from high-rise development and created Long Beach’s second landmark historic district.

• This rare outing includes backyard and interior glimpses not usually open to the public, plus a break for light refreshments.

ATTIRE RECOMMENDED Wear comfortable walking shoes, along with a hat/sun umbrella, sunglasses, and sunscreen. This is an outdoor walking tour, and the sidewalk and paved paths are uneven in places. Guests should take caution and consider their own abilities. Interior spaces and some street curbs require navigating steps.

TOUR DETAILS The tours are expected to last approximately 2.5 hours. Each date will feature essentially the same 20+ sites, making a loop, starting and ending at the Long Beach Museum of Art. A light refreshment break is included in the ticket price at a scenic locale along the route.
