Raymone Bain tells Reuters that the star has invited a group of people to visit the sprawling Santa Barbara Valley spread, where guests are usually required to sign confidentiality agreements before entering. Bain declined to identify the group but said such invitations were regularly extended to various groups, including church members.
It is not known whether Jackson, 46, will attend Friday's event. The embattled entertainer is currently free on bail in anticipation of the Jan. 31 start of his trial on a 10-count indictment of child molestation. Jackson has pleaded not guilty.
A pretrial hearing in the case is set for Monday when Jackson's defense team will seek again to have the charges dismissed. In addition, Jackson's ex-wife, Deborah Rowe, on Wednesday filed to regain visitation rights with the couple's two young children, Prince Michael and Paris.
Jackson was reportedly objecting to her request.
The star has frequently opened his home to children. A 2003 British TV documentary broadcast on both sides of the Atlantic showed children playing on a miniature train ride and other theme-park-style rides in the grounds, which also contain a small zoo.
