The Home, Garden & Lifestyle Show

Spring is for throwing open the doors, shaking off the collected dust of winter, and applying a fresh eye to one's surroundings. In preparation for this yearly improvement, a visit to the Home and Lifestyle show might help focus energies and resources. The Acadian Home Builders Association's exclusive event is the original showcase of its type in Acadiana and the only one that is locally produced. The show features the most exciting and comprehensive collection of products and services from local exhibitors—from building materials and floor treatments to appliances and decor. Lots more, too, from chef cooking demos to free health screenings, plus a great kid-zone area. Saturday from 10 am—6 pm and Sunday from 11 am—5 pm at the Cajundome Convention Center. Tickets on sale at the Cajundome Box Office and Ticketmaster. $10; kids under 12 get in free. (337) 981-3053 or acadianhba.com/events/home-lifestyle-show.
