The Lake Norman Parade of Homes is the association's largest non-dues revenue generator and our biggest venue for promoting the home building industry and its professionals. This committee oversees this self-guided tour of the beautiful homes surrounding the Lake Norman area.  The Parade of Homes is held during the first three weekends of June and is free to the public.  The homes vary in style, setting, size and price. Each home is staffed during the show, often by the builder, so it is a great opportunity for consumers to meeting individual builders.  If you are interested in joining the Lake Norman Parade of Homes committee, click here to download the application and please plan on attending our committee meeting which are held on the 1st Tuesday of each month at 9:00 a.m. at the Lake Norman HBA office.  You can also access our Events Calendar to view all meetings and upcoming events.  See the 2008 winners on our Parade of Homes section!
