BRISTOL — It’s been many years since the Parade of Homes of the Builders Association of Elkhart County has had a central site.

But the 2024 Parade of Homes Plus will feature 17 entries, including six homes at a central site in the Chelton Glen neighborhood in Bristol; two homes that are under construction; one remodel; and one landscaping remodel.

The parade began last weekend, June 15 and 16, and will continue from 4-8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, June 20 and 21, and from 1-8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and 23.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at Martins Supermarkets or online anytime (baec.com) for $8. Whichever home you choose to visit first, you can also scan the QR code at the home and purchase $8 tickets. If paying in cash at your first home, tickets are $10 each. Credit/debit cards will not be accepted at the homes.

The parade book, with map, hours and other information, can be downloaded on the Builders Association of Elkhart County’s website. Parade books are also available throughout Elkhart County at various businesses, or may be picked up at the builders association office, 25428 CR 20 in Elkhart.

New this year, two playhouses constructed by Elkhart County seventh-graders, with the help of Big C Lumber and Build Your Future, will be on display at the central site and raffled off for $5 per ticket (also available online or at the central site). Winners will have the playhouse delivered to their home and painted in their choice of color.

The premier sponsor for the parade is Mid-City Supply. Other sponsors include Kendall Lighting, LaSalle Bristol Flooring Center and Big C Lumber.
