Good news!  The Parade of Homes begins Friday.  It's a chance to see some beautiful new, and remodeled homes and drool a little bit, get some great design and decorating ideas, and talk with designers and builders about what you can do to your current home, or, perhaps, your NEW home!

The Parade of Homes will run Oct. 7 through 22. New homes will be open from 1 to 8 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Wednesdays. Remodeled homes will be open from 1 to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 21 and 22.

Tickets for the event are $12 for those ages 13 and up. Children 12 and under are free. Click the links below to download PDF maps including the locations of all homes featured in the 2011 Fall Parade of Homes.

The Home & Building Association of Greater Grand Rapids has links to maps and all of the homes.  Just 'click' and enjoy!
