SUMMARY:Blue Ridge Mountains Parade of Homes
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Ridge Mountains Parade of Homes will be held this year October 18-20\, 2024 in Blue Ridge\, GA. Benefitting the area's local youth through the Future of Our Trades Scholarship Foundation\, the parade is an annual\, three-day event held in Blue Ridge\, Georgia and features amazing homes sprinkled throughout the North Georgia mountains.\n\n\n\nHosted by some of the finest builders in the North Georgia area\, the event has quickly established a tradition of showcasing a variety of spectacular homes and introducing exciting new trends to attendees from all over the country. The homes are set among breathtaking landscapes only found in the North Georgia mountains and feature unique and diverse architectural and building styles. To date\, the event has drawn over 13\,000 attendees from 34 different states in its first five years\, featuring 74 homes by eight of the region's most prominent builders including Don Clement\, Travis Coleman\, Ron Lomonaco\, Marc Nicholson\, Buzz Quintrell\, Keith Sumner\, Kevin Teague\, and Tommy Wosyluk.\n\n\n\nAt its foundation\, the mission of the Blue Ridge Mountains Parade of Homes and its sponsors is to give back to the community. With many of the participating builders being raised in the local area\, the non-profit\, Future of Our Trades Scholarship is committed to giving back to public education in the North Georgia area\, by way of providing scholarships to local students who plan to enter the construction field after graduation. These scholarships are made possible through parade attendee ticket purchases\, as well as sponsorships and donations from dozens of businesses and organizations.\n\n\n\nLast year's parade helped the organization award $180\,000 in scholarships to 18 local students representing Gilmer\, Fannin\, Pickens and Union counties (GA)\, and Polk County (TN)\, bringing the total sum awarded to $620\,000 since the first scholarship was given in 2019. For the first time in the event's history\, the 2023 parade featured a collaboration between students and builders\, resulting in the construction of a home that was sold during the parade. Proceeds from the sale will go towards providing scholarships for next year\, with additional funds being placed into an endowment\, ensuring long-term scholarship opportunities for countless students in the future.\n\n\n\nTo purchase tickets to this year's event\, visit www.blueridgeparadeofhomes.com
