Welcome to the 2026 Parade of Homes!

On behalf of the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans, welcome to the 2026 Parade of Homes—our region’s premier home design event! This year’s Parade is proudly presented by Keesler Federal Credit Union

We are thrilled to showcase the creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation of the builders, subcontractors, and vendors who make the Greater New Orleans homebuilding industry shine. The 2026 Parade of Homes offers a firsthand look at the latest trends in architecture, layout, and interior design. From flexible, multi-functional floor plans to outdoor living spaces designed for year-round enjoyment, this year’s homes highlight the features today’s homeowners crave—including the newest styles in lighting, fixtures, and appliances.

Attending the Parade in person gives you the unique opportunity to speak directly with the builders, ask questions, and gain insight into the design and construction process— an invaluable advantage whether you’re building new or simply seeking inspiration.

We’re also proud to once again support the St. Jude Dream Home® Giveaway, benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This year’s Dream Home—located at 1045 Orion Ave in Metairie, LA —was built by Hyman L. Bartolo Jr. Contractors, LLC and is valued at approximately $750,000. With 3,100 sq. ft., three bedrooms, and three-and-a-half bathrooms, it’s a beautiful home supporting an even more beautiful cause.

Starting July 7, select homes will also be available through virtual tours on the New Orleans Parade of Homes mobile app and website. Powered by Matterport’s advanced 3D technology, our virtual Parade ensures you can explore from anywhere.

Whether you’re shopping for your dream home or gathering inspiration to renovate your current space, there’s something for everyone. Thank you for supporting our local builders, partners, and the future of homebuilding in Greater New Orleans.

Enjoy the tour—in person or online at HBAGNO.org .

With gratitude,
