"Bluff Park Historic District Walking Tour"
TOUR DATE #1
Sunday, August 23, 2026
9:30 AM
HIGHLIGHTS
- BPNA is bringing back one of the beloved events over the decades.
- Walk through one of Long Beach's most iconic 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, and a lot of styles in between.
- 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 with catered light refreshments.
DATES and TIMES
Choose between two dates:
Sunday, August 23 or Sunday, August 30, 2026
Starting at 9:30 AM.
TICKETS
https://bluffpark.org/WT
To maximize everyone's experience and keep the tour groups small, tickets are limited and likely to sell out.
Tickets on the day or or at the door, if available, will be at a higher price.
Get yours in advance!
ATTIRE RECOMMENDED
Wear comfortable walking shoes, along with a hat or 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 about 2.5 hours. Please arrive punctually at 9:30 AM.
Allow sufficient time in advance to find your own parking or consider rideshare options. Street and museum lot parking may be limited.
Each date will feature essentially the same 20+ sites, making a loop, starting and ending at the Long Beach Museum of Art, 2300 E. Ocean Blvd.
A light refreshment break is included in the ticket price at a scenic locale along the route.
