The 2017 Tampa Bay Parade of Homes, hosted by the Tampa Bay Builders Association (TBBA), will take place through the end of April.
This is one of the largest Parades in Florida with 96 production model homes and additional custom entries throughout Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas Counties. It is presented by Banko Overhead Doors, Simpson Air, and MIDFLORIDA Credit Union.
The Parade is the exclusive opportunity to get to know more about the Tampa Bay housing market and learn about the regions’ notable communities and builders. There is no cost or appointment needed. New this year, Custom Builders are also offering exclusive online virtual tours to preview their luxury homes and projects at TampaBayPOH.com.
“The Parade of Homes is a celebration of the new home market in the Tampa Bay area. There is no better time to explore housing options and no easier way than the Parade of Homes. I am proud to lead the efforts on this once a year opportunity,” said Melissa Chaumont, Grey Street Studios.
