WELCOME TO THE 2026 PARADE OF HOMES

The 2026 Parade of Homes is your opportunity to discover the vibrant and diverse new home market in the Tampa Bay area. It’s the perfect time to explore fresh design ideas, experience innovative architecture, and learn about the many thriving communities that make Greater Tampa Bay a desirable place to live.

Browse our website to explore the builders, model homes, and custom projects featured in this year’s Parade. Each home, builder, and community showcases a unique vision, offering inspiration for your next home. The journey begins at the signature showcase homes, where you’ll see firsthand the craftsmanship and creativity that define Tampa Bay living.

On behalf of the Tampa Bay Builders Association (TBBA), thank you to our sponsors, visitors, builders, and volunteers for making this event possible. We invite you to take your time, enjoy the experience, and chart your course along this year’s Parade route!
