About the HBAF and the Parade of Homes: The Parade of Homes is produced by the Home Builders Association of Fayetteville and focuses on new construction and the premise that home ownership adds strength to the community, improves the quality of life, and increases the sense of pride within a family. The Parade of Homes encourages participants to find their dream home that suits their personal lifestyle and allows participants to view a cross section of new homes available in our market. Both the HBAF and the Parade of Homes have a long and rich history: this will be the 49th annual Parade of Homes and the 49th anniversary of the charter of the HBA of Fayetteville.
