Parade Partners
Partner with Builders on Parade
The Parade Partners Program from the Builders Association of the Blue Ridge Mountains offers a unique opportunity for Associate Members to market their company’s products and services directly to the builders participating in the annual WNC Parade of Homes. This program also helps parade partners reach the thousands of consumers who attend the annual event in person and tour the homes virtually throughout the year.
