Whether this is your first time experiencing the Parade of Homes or you’ve been on the parade many times, it’s always good to refresh yourself on the basics:
Parade homes will be open to tour on two weekends: Saturday, October 4, and Sunday, October 5, and Saturday, October 11, and Sunday, October 12, from noon to 5 p.m. each day.
Tickets to tour homes are available at each parade home for $10. Children 12 and under FREE.
Please see each parade home page for a Google Maps QR code that you can scan for mobile directions to each home on the parade.
Please look for our official parade banner outside each parade home.
Make sure to grab a FREE Greater Cedar Rapids Housing & Building Association 2025 Membership Directory, your tool to connect with local and reliable housing and building professionals throughout the year, available at each parade home.
With each ticket purchase, receive a $5 OFF coupon for the 2026 Cedar Rapids Home Show and a $5 OFF coupon for the Spring 2026 Parade of Homes, a $10 value.
The public is encouraged to leave their shoes at the door of each parade home so the homes don’t experience too much wear and tear. Paper booties may not be provided at all locations, so be sure to wear socks because no bare feet will be allowed.
Please do not ask to use the bathroom or wash your hands inside the parade homes. There are no public restrooms on the Parade of Homes.
Each builder has put a great deal of time and work into their parade home and may or may not welcome you taking photos for future reference, so please ask first.
Remember, each parade home is someone’s future home. So be considerate, tread lightly and be a good guest.
You’re sure to see lots of ideas and building projects on the parade that you’d like to include in your current or new home. Hold on to The Gazette’s parade section so you can jot down notes to keep track of features you like and builders and remodelers you want to talk to.
