Shows and Events

Each year, we offer several opportunities to learn about home building, remodeling and associated businesses through our unique, interactive shows and events. These venues bring our members and consumers face-to-face to discuss ideas and options, learn about the latest products and technology and inspect the quality of work.

Here’s an overview:

The Pennsylvania Home Show – The largest Show of its kind in the Northeast, The Home Show includes over 375 exhibitors of home building, remodeling and home improvement ideas… from products to professionals and everything in between. Held each February, it’s the perfect place to kick-off spring and summer home projects. View web site >

Parade of Homes – Each Fall, this spectacular, free, nine-day show features tours of beautifully designed, decorated and landscaped town homes and single family homes of all sizes and price ranges. Visit the homes that appeal to you, talk to the builders and get a close look at their workmanship. View web site >

Builder Expo – Professional Strength — For one day each Fall, builders and remodelers get an exclusive look at new products, services, tools and equipment as well as an opportunity to meet with suppliers and manufacturers. This show is not open to the public. View web site >
