St George Parade of Homes
The Parade of Homes is coming to St. George next week, February 12-21, 2010. Every year, starting over President's Day weekend, the Southern Utah Home Builder's Association organizes this amazing event. My wife and I love to attend the Parade's around the state. We attend them all. Over the past 5 years the St George parade is definitely our favorite. There are several reasons for this.
- The parade is well organized. Great maps, tons of signs to help you find the homes.
- Only $12.50 per ticket. Well worth it.
- You can take photos!
- About 25 homes.
- A good variety of homes. A range of prices, including some amazing high-end homes. Variety of styles.
- Unique desert architecture that you don't get in any of the other parade's around the state.
- Amazing swimming pools. You don't see as many of those in Northern Utah.
- Warm weather. Some years it's cold, but it's always 10-20 degrees warmer than Salt Lake, which is nice come February.
Some of my favorite homes from the last few years:
TIP: If you are going to attend, I recommend arranging your lodging as early as possible. In this economy you can probably still get a room somewhere. In previous years every room in town is sold out by November.
