NEW ORLEANS – The Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans has announced the return of the 65th Annual New Orleans Home & Garden Show, scheduled for March 11-13 at the Caesars Superdome. Exhibitors will show off the latest offerings related to home security, kitchen renovation, outdoor landscaping and other high-tech products. This year’s theme is “Come Back to What You Remember.”
For 65 years, show has been produced by the Home Builders Association. Entergy is the 2022 presenting sponsor.
During the show’s “Bayou Battle of the Build,” teams from four area colleges and two high schools will design and build furniture or other specialty items, which will all be on display and auctioned at the show. Proceeds go back to the schools. Sponsored by 84 Lumber, the competition is a cooperative endeavor between the New Orleans Home & Garden Show and the New Orleans Education League for workforce development and outreach that seeks to build connections between local students, teachers, employers, and those who have made careers in trades and supporting businesses.
As part of the Battle of the Build, Northshore Technical College, which has a team in the build competition, will also have its Mobile Mechatronics Lab at the show. The lab is a 40-foot trailer equipped with one slideout alcove and is outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment for hands-on career exploration, STEM events, career fairs, mobile testing, and skills training.
