Get ready for this weekend because the Building Industry Association’s annual ‘Parade of Homes’ event is taking place from December 9-11.

The Parade of Homes is the single largest and most important showcase of new homes during the year.

This event gives the talented craftspeople within the local community the opportunity to create masterpieces in new home design and construction. Subcontractors, suppliers and service companies turn out their best efforts as well in this showcase of housing excellence.

Homes ranging from affordable starters to million-dollar luxury estates are exhibited in the annual Parade, each featuring the latest in building technology and the hottest trends in interior design.

But the Parade of Homes is more than just a new home showcase. It benefits the community as well, by providing scholarships. A portion of the proceeds derived from various fundraising activities associated with the Parade go to help deserving area students further their education in industry-related fields. One was they are giving back is through the BIA Dream Home.

A portion of the sale of this year’s Dream Home inside Deer Moss Creek will go towards scholarships for local students going into the trades industry. This year’s Dream Home builder is Jason Carducci with JP Carducci Inc.
We will have a video in tomorrow’s newsletter highlighting a bit of the final product!

Homes will be open 12-6pm daily. There are seven completed homes in Deer Moss Creek that people can walk through, and 26 total that are scattered across the two counties. (see here)

There is no printed booklet this year, but home details and location can be found through their app, “Okaloosa Walton Parade.”
