Exceptional Weather... The southern Utah area has mild, low humidity winters with over 300 sunny days per year! Many Parade visitors like to come to sunny southern Utah to escape from the cold, snowy, winter weather. Event Schedule & Location Schedule: February 18-27, 2005- Homes are open everyday from10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Twenty-six homes are located in a variety of communities set among breathtaking landscapes in Washington County, Utah. The St. George Area Parade of Homes is a scattered-site show. The time required to tour all 26 homes in the Parade (at a comfortable pace, taking rest stops, etc.) is two days. However, visitors may choose to visit any number of homes on display and in any order. Visitors will receive a beautiful Parade magazine which includes a map and directions to each home with a ticket purchase. Signs are strategically placed along the roads to direct the attendees in the self-guided tour to the homes. Visitors may choose to follow the signs or take-off on their own in the order of their choice. Lodging & Relocation Book your lodging accommodations as early as possible!
