Dallas CASA’s signature "friend-raiser," the Parade of Playhouses, returns to NorthPark Center from May 22 to June 7, 2026. This year’s event features a shifted schedule to conclude before the FIFA World Cup kicks off in Dallas on June 11.
Presented by Crest Cadillac, the event showcases unique, custom-built children’s playhouses donated by local architects and builders. Visitors can view the imaginative designs—which have previously included rocket ships and cafes—and purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win.
Beyond the creativity, the event serves a vital mission. All proceeds support Dallas CASA, an organization that provides volunteer advocates for children in foster care who have experienced abuse or neglect. With over one million annual viewers, the parade raises critical funds and awareness for the agency, which served 2,340 children in 2025 alone.
