The Southern Utah Parade of Homes 2026 is one of the longest-running and most anticipated home tours in the western United States. Organized annually by the Southern Utah Home Builders Association (SUHBA), the event invites attendees to tour 20 to 30 custom new-construction homes across Washington County — each showcasing the latest in desert residential design, construction techniques, interior finishes, and outdoor living. For prospective home buyers, design enthusiasts, and locals who simply love to see what the region's top builders are creating, the parade is an essential February tradition.

What is the Southern Utah Parade of Homes?

The Parade of Homes is a self-guided tour that runs approximately 9 to 10 days each February. For the price of a single admission ticket (typically $15–$20), attendees receive a full-color booklet or wristband that grants entry to every home on the tour for the duration of the event. Each home is fully staged and open to walk through, with builders, interior designers, and real estate agents on-site to answer questions and provide construction details. The parade covers homes across St. George, Ivins, Hurricane, Washington, and occasionally Santa Clara and Cedar City.

Parade of Homes 2026 Schedule

The official 2026 schedule is released by SUHBA in the weeks leading up to the event. Based on historical patterns, expect the parade to run approximately February 13–22, 2026, with homes open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM. The event always includes two full weekends to maximize attendance opportunity. SGWOM will update this page with confirmed 2026 dates as soon as SUHBA announces them — check suhba.com for the most current information, or follow the Parade of Homes on social media.

What to Expect on the Tour

Each Parade of Homes entry showcases a fully completed custom home representing the builder's best work of the year. Typical features include:

  • Contemporary desert modern design — flat roofs, large glazing, integrated indoor-outdoor living, and landscape-aware architecture
  • Luxury kitchens — commercial-grade appliances, quartzite and marble countertops, oversized islands, butler's pantries
  • Spa-inspired primary suites — freestanding soaking tubs, oversized walk-in showers, dual vanities, expansive walk-in closets
  • Outdoor living rooms — covered patios with ceiling fans, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, negative-edge pools, spas
  • Smart home integration — whole-home automation, security, lighting, HVAC control, and entertainment systems
  • Red rock views — homes in communities like The Ledges, Entrada, Kayenta, and Coral Canyon are sited for dramatic panoramic vistas

How to Plan Your Parade of Homes Visit

With 20–30 homes on the tour, most attendees spread their visits across 2 to 4 days. Plan efficient routes by grouping homes geographically — the official map shows all stops with recommended viewing order. Weekday mornings offer the shortest lines and best builder interaction time. Weekend afternoons are the most crowded, especially at highly-anticipated homes in premium communities. If you are serious about home shopping, bring a notebook and take photos of specific details for later reference.

Home Types and Price Points

Parade of Homes entries typically start around $800,000 and climb to $5,000,000+ for the largest estate homes. Most entries are in the $1M–$3M range. While many attendees are not actively shopping in these price ranges, the parade provides invaluable inspiration for finishes, floor plans, and design ideas applicable to any new construction or remodel project. Local home builders, real estate agents, and interior designers watch the parade closely to track emerging trends in Southern Utah residential design.
