The 2025 GRO Parade of Homes is returning to Camas for the first time since 2019.

Building Industry Association of Clark County (BIA) leaders joined Camas officials and home builders at The Nines at Camas Meadows last week on Thursday, Jan. 23, for the event’s official groundbreaking.

“We’re excited to present a diverse array of home styles for this year’s GRO Parade of Homes. With the return of a seasoned builder and the debut of three new builders, we anticipate fresh designs, innovative ideas and inspiring concepts that are sure to captivate the public,” Alexa Lee, committee chair for this year’s event, stated in a news release.

This year’s new home showcase, set for Sept. 5-21, is “a unique interpretation of luxury living,” Lee said.

The event will showcase six luxury homes built alongside the Camas Meadows golf course and include the GRO Parade of Homes’ first attached home — part of a group of about 40 townhomes being constructed at the Camas Meadows site.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, Camas Mayor Steve Hogan praised the BIA and event sponsors and said he was looking forward to seeing the finished homes.

“It’s going to be wonderful to see what these six houses look like,” Hogan said.

BIA’s event director, Danielle Kilian, said this year’s event will “bring a fresh mix of design and luxury” to Camas for the first time since the 2019 NW Natural Parade of Homes showcased high-end luxury homes priced between $1.5 million and $2 million at the Dawson’s Ridge gated community near the intersection of Southeast Brady and Northwest McIntosh roads in Camas.

The 47th annual Parade of Homes — the fourth Parade of Homes sponsored by GRO, a Vancouver landscaping and remodeling company — will showcase the work of four regional home builders, including NR Construction, NW Fortune Development, Pacific Lifestyle Homes and Urban NW Homes.

“This event celebrates the incredible design and craftsmanship of our local builders,” said GRO owner Garret Hergert.

The 2025 event is expected to draw more than 7,500 attendees to the Camas Meadows site in September.
