46th Annual GRO Parade of Homes

The Building Industry Association of Clark County presents the 46th annual GRO Parade of Homes, a showcase of the Pacific Northwest’s finest home architecture, design, and construction. 

Featuring the latest in high-end home construction from Affinity Homes and Cascade West Development, the GRO Parade of Homes will offer a walk-through experience of three homes on a single site overlooking Lake River. Each home boasts open-air living spaces, and state of the art home technology, appliances, lighting, plumbing, textures, and colors. Trusted builders, designers, and real estate professionals will be on-site to answer questions and offer insights. Food and beverage offerings from local food trucks will round out the experience for all to enjoy.

“No other display of homes in the Pacific Northwest provides this level of craftsmanship in a one-stop touring experience,” says Chuck Neibert, president of the Building Industry Association of Clark County. “Whether you are looking for home design inspiration, embarking on a remodel, or a part of the industry, everyone will walk away inspired and informed about creating the home of their dreams.”
