Is this an annual event?

Yes. The Parade of Homes is once a year. Please check our website for future dates and places we will be throughout the year.

Can all of the homes be visited in a single day?

Depending number of homes (it changes from year to year), seeing all homes in a single day can be done but is a bit of a stretch. It really depends on how much time you want to spend in each home, how early you want to get started, and how far apart the homes are in any given year. The parade starts at 10 AM each day and ends at 5 PM – be sure to check out the interactive map on the website to see specific distances and suggested routes.

How much do tickets cost?

Tickets for the Blue Ridge Mountains Parade of Homes are just $25, changing to $35 on October 10th, 2023. This all-access pass includes general admission for an individual 18 years of age and older, for any/all days of the Parade of Homes. Children under 18 are free with purchase of an adult ticket.

How can I donate to the Scholarship Foundation?

Ticket sales for the event go towards providing scholarships for local students. However, you may also donate directly via the website.

Are these homes for sale?

Many of these homes are for sale. Be sure to speak to the representative at each home location for more information.

Why are floor plans not available?

The homes that are part of the Blue Ridge area showcase are custom homes and the floor plans and designs are the property of the builder, architect and/or home designer. Just as an artist does not want his/her work copied without consent, neither do our builders.

Will there be an opportunity for us to meet the builders?

Yes, builders are typically available to chat in their respective homes during the tour. Inquire with the the Parade of Homes representative(s) at each home about the builder’s availability.

Is there a physical location to purchase tickets?

No, tickets must be purchased online on the Blue Ridge Mountains Parade of Homes website.
