The Fall Parade of Homes Is More Than a Tour—It’s an Opportunity for HBAL Members

The Fall Parade of Homes is just around the corner, and it’s more than a showcase of beautiful homes—it’s a chance for HBAL members to put their businesses in front of thousands of potential customers and connect with others in the industry.

October 4–11, 2026, the Fall Parade will once again showcase new homes throughout the Lincoln area, giving the public an opportunity to see the latest in home design, construction, products and services.

For builders, the Parade is an especially valuable opportunity to showcase your work, but the benefits extend throughout the HBAL membership. Every home on the Parade represents the work of numerous subcontractors, suppliers, designers, Realtors and other businesses that help bring a project from plans to completion.

Use the Parade to Tell Your Story

If your company is involved with a Parade home, make the most of the exposure. Encourage your customers and followers to visit the home, share photos and behind-the-scenes content on social media, and highlight the products or services your company provided.

Even members who don’t have a home in the Parade can use the event as a source of content and inspiration. Share Parade information with your customers, invite them to tour the homes, or use the event as an opportunity to start conversations about their own building, remodeling or home improvement plans.

It’s Also a Great Networking Opportunity

The Parade brings together professionals from across the housing industry—and that makes it a great opportunity to see what other HBAL members are doing.

Tour the homes. Meet the builders. Check out new products and design trends. Talk with fellow members. You might discover a new product to recommend to a customer, a potential business partner or simply a great idea to bring back to your own business.

Help Us Promote the Parade

The success of the Parade depends on getting people through the doors. You can help spread the word. (Click here for our guidelines.)

Share Parade information with your customers, employees, friends and social media followers. Encourage people who are considering building, remodeling or buying a home to make the Parade part of their fall plans.

And, of course, don’t forget to visit the homes yourself!
