When it comes to the weather in the summer here in Arizona, inside events are a must! Instead of being stuck in the house all day hiding from the heat, going to an indoor event can be a great way to get out of the house while avoiding the sun. The Maricopa County Home Show is a family friendly event where you can not only find services for your home such as yard maintenance, or blinds but there are also small local businesses selling things like soaps, bags, plants and more. You'll also find spots like hotels, dog training and more offering specials for anyone who signs up at the home shows.
While you are walking through looking at all the booths, you'll also be able to test out certain things like massagers that can be placed onto any chair, full massage chairs, mattresses from some local mattress stores and depending on if food vendors are there, you'll have the chance to try out some treats as well. The vendors at the home shows can vary depending on which location the show is hosted at. When it was hosted at the fairgrounds there seemed to be quite a few more local small businesses selling assorted goodies vs bigger vendors like electricians, windshield replacement, etc. The three main spots the events seem to be hosted at are the Statefarm Stadium, The Fair grounds downtown and Westworld in Scottsdale.
We enjoy going to the home shows because we like browsing the range of plants sellers have & we usually purchase several while we are there. We also like that they put on live demos and classes showing you different aspects of gardening which can be very helpful for beginners. You can find a list of seminars & workshops on their website prior to the show so you can figure out what time everything starts & where to be. Some of the workshops are simply demonstrations you will watch, and others are hands on with small freebies you can take home like potting succulents or creating small projects.
If you have children under the age of twelve, they offer a kid's craft corner that has everything your child needs to complete a project they have set up for the day. If you have older kids attending, they also have a handmade headquarter that is similar, but with crafts that are more advanced. Each show last for three days, you can attend just one day or all three days if you want to go back. The next event will be September 27th-29th at Westworld in Scottsdale, tickets are $6 per adult and children under the age of twelve are free. Find more information on their next show on their website!

I LOVE it! Home shows like this are just about the most fun you can have if you love decor and landscaping. This looks like a great one.
I'm absolutely addicted to this kind of stuff. I could probably go for all three days and never get bored with it. There's always something new to see!
Oh, that is awesome! I love the sheer variety of exhibits there. I'd definitely go every day.
What a wonderful way to spend the day! The Maricopa Home show looks as if it has something for everyone. Glad you found a way to enjoy yourself and escape the heat. Stephanie
This sounds like an amazing place to go! I personally love going to all the home shows here in Toronto, as there's always so much to learn, see, and do at these events. The Maricopa County one looks like it was so cool!
Great post on the Maricoba Home Show in Arizona. Love the live-growing Cactus bush! Thanks for sharing your photos.
Looks like a fun craft show!! You mention a kids corner. Is that something your kids have done personally?
WOW, the Maricoba Home Show looks like it was an awesome show to visit with so many booths. I bet you saw some pretty cool stuff and knowing me I would have tried out everything and purchased a lot, especially some planets.
It sounds like great fun there. They have a lovely range of exhibits to see.
I heard of the extreme heat in Arizona the other day on the radio. The Maricopa County Home Show sounds like a perfect way to beat the heat, and have some fun at the same time. The vendors look so intriguing!
Sounds like a fantastic event. Always nice to visit different exhibitors and learn about their products.
I'd love to go to a home show. This looks like so much fun! So many cool things to check out.
Hhhhmmm...I would love to visit and try out as many massagers as possible. Sometimes, my back hurts out of my lying position, on my bed.
I know I would have to fight myself not to go everyday simply for the bath bombs
I would not be able to stop myself from buying a lot of plants. Looks like a fun time.
