WHAT IS THE PARADE OF HOMES™?

The members of the Marion County Builders Industry Association are proud to present a collection of their brand-new homes which in 2023 focuses on architechtural quality and design, the latest technologies using energy-saving materials, plus recently developed land. As well, learn about new communities and the lifestyle possibilities that they offer

Plot out your course along the Parade route and meet these hard working Builders. Ask questions to learn about the modern advances available; all the while you can first-hand view and appreciate the atmosphere inside one of their beautifully finished homes.

What makes this event so exciting is that the Parade showcases the collaborative endeavor that each home presents. The Parade entries represent a glorious example of teamwork - from the financiers, the land developers; the suppliers, vendors and craftsmen needed for construction; to the interior designers and sales reps who accentuate and present a product worthy of being judged and admired.

Plan your own tour with the upcoming MAP and DIRECTORY and watch for Parade updates at: MCBIA.org
