The Maricopa County Home & Landscape Show is returning to State Farm Stadium in Glendale this July.
The largest home show in the southwest will be held Friday, July 12 through Sunday, July 14 inside the stadium. Catch some of the best deals on everything from home improvement to landscaping. Brainstorm your next home project with free gardening and crafting classes, home improvement seminars, food and beverage tastings and more.
“I’m very excited about the educational seminars that will be part of our July event,” says Katie Jones, show manager. “We have local experts providing tips on home organization, choosing flooring, a discussion panel with solar experts and more. Everyone will leave with inspiration for their home and that’s what makes the Maricopa County Home and Landscape Show special.”
