The 66th Annual Parade of Homes will highlight more than a dozen homes by nearly as many builders across the community. The event will run on July 20-21 and July 27-28.
The event is hosted by the Green River Building Industry Association, which was previously the Home Builders Association of Owensboro. In 1958, they launched the self-guided, scattered home site tour and continue to build on its success.
The homes will be available for tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
“We’ve been doing this for a long time,” said GRBIA executive officer Adam Hicks. “This is unique to our area. I think people enjoy seeing trends they aren’t typically able to see. Most of the time, only the person building the house can see inside, so it intrigues the public.”
Hicks said the event is excellent for folks interested in building, moving, remodeling, or just interested in the latest trends. He added that the event has continued value for the association and local builders.
“The event means everything to our builders,” he said. “We have some incredible builders who build quality homes, and this gives them an opportunity to showcase their work. We want the community to know they can buy a house in the community built by local builders.”
The tour features 14 Owensboro and Daviess County homes and one in Tell City. Parade-goers can see everything from the new brownstones with elevators inside them to the new custom-built homes in The Preserves off Millers Mill Road.
