More Than a Trade Show – Why the NRV Home Expo Continues to Be a Resource for the New River Valley



The New River Valley Home Expo stands out among trade shows by offering unique features that foster community engagement, support trades education, and provide opportunities for homeowners and professionals. Here's what sets our expo apart:


New River Valley – A Hub for Growth

Located in one of Virginia's fastest-growing areas, the New River Valley boasts a dynamic economy and vibrant communities. Recognized as the second fastest-growing economy in Virginia in 2023, our region exemplifies strategic collaboration and investment.



Record Participation from Vendors and Attendees

The NRV Home Expo has seen growth over the past several years, attracting a record number of vendors and increasing attendee totals each year. Notably, in 2025, we will have the largest community of builders and remodelers available at the Christiansburg Recreation Center. Many of our vendors are returning for another year – some have participated for multiple years and have attributed the Expo to the success of their business!


Silent Auction Showcasing Local Businesses

Our silent auction features a diverse array of items generously donated by businesses across the New River Valley. This initiative not only offers attendees the chance to acquire unique products and services but also highlights our local enterprises, fostering a deeper connection between businesses and the community.



Parade of Playhouses Benefiting NRVHBA Microgrant Program

A new feature debuting this year is our Parade of Playhouses, where local builders have crafted imaginative playhouses that will be displayed and auctioned off. Proceeds from this event support the New River Valley Home Builders Association (NRVHBA) Microgrant program, which gives funding to our local CTE & trade programs in our schools. This event exemplifies the collaborative spirit of our local builders and the NRVHBA’s commitment to giving back. Learn more about our Microgrant Program here.

The NRV Home Expo isn’t just for homeowners—it’s also a prime opportunity for businesses in the construction and home improvement industries to connect. With a record number of vendors, including the largest percentage of builders and remodelers in attendance, the expo provides an ideal setting to network with fellow professionals. Whether you're looking to form new partnerships, collaborate on future projects, or stay updated on industry trends, this event brings together the region’s top experts in one place. By fostering connections within the construction community, the NRV Home Expo helps strengthen local businesses and drive the industry forward.
