Dallas CASA Parade of Playhouses

Dallas CASA’s 30th Parade of Playhouses, the agency’s signature awareness event, returns to NorthPark Center June 13 to 29, 2025. Local architects, builders, corporations and crafts people design, build and donate custom children’s playhouses which are available to win by raffle.

For a chance to win one of these fantastic playhouses, purchase a raffle ticket. Raffle tickets are sold in-person and online for $5 each, or five tickets for $20. (The playhouses are free to view.) All proceeds from raffle ticket sales and sponsorships benefit the children served by Dallas CASA. Winning tickets will be drawn at 4pm on June 29, and winners will be notified by phone.

Come see these 2025 playhouses during NorthPark Center open hours:
Monday through Saturday: 10am–8pm
Sunday: noon–6pm

(Note that children won't be able to go inside or play on the playhouses, but they can touch the outside and look in the windows.)

Past playhouse designs have included a Hobbit House, rocket ships, a movie theater, a windmill, a car wash, a barn, a submarine and more. During the run of the event, more than one million visitors see the display at NorthPark.

The event calls attention to the needs of children who have experienced abuse or neglect and are living in the protective care of the state. Dallas CASA trains and supervises community volunteers who seek to protect children, restore childhood and help child victims of abuse or neglect achieve their full potential. While NorthPark visitors dream of a fun playhouse for their backyard, the children served by Dallas CASA dream of a safe place to call home forever.

About Dallas CASA
Dallas CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) seeks to protect children, restore childhood and help child victims of abuse or neglect achieve their full potential. The agency’s trained and supervised community volunteers are assigned by judges to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect and are living in the protective care of the state.

For many children in foster care, their Dallas CASA volunteer is the only consistent, caring adult in their lives during a frightening, uncertain time. Dallas CASA envisions a day when all children experience safe childhoods and grow into resourceful, healthy adults. Now in its 44th year, Dallas CASA serves more children than any of the more than 900 CASA programs nationwide. In 2023, 1,240 Dallas CASA volunteers were assigned to advocate for 2,151 children in protective care. For the past five years, the agency has been able to provide an advocate for every Dallas child in need.
