This year, Denver’s go-to local home show and design houses tour presents the premier showcase of new homes and communities across Metro Denver, from Longmont to Castle Rock and Arvada to Aurora, and extends into the peaks of Grand County, giving Parade-goers the chance to tour new mountain homes in one of Colorado’s most sought-after destinations, Winter Park.
New this year, the Designer Challenge pits two competing design concepts against each other in identical Koelbel townhomes, and Parade-goers tour both, compare them side by side, and vote to crown the winner.
You can tour when and where you want, choosing either on-demand virtual tours when it suits your schedule or taking in-person tours Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.
