The Philly Home + Garden Show is Back This Year with Close to 300 Exhibitors and a Little Bit of Something for Everyone

See all the Home Show has to offer at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA coming in February!

 Philadelphia, PA – (January 11, 2023) The Philly Home + Garden Show returns to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA for three days only from Friday, February 23rd to Sunday, February 25th. Attendees will find new inspiration, innovative products, helpful tips, and amazing deals in remodeling, home improvements, décor, and outdoor spaces with opportunities to connect with hundreds of home and garden experts.

The upcoming show will feature close to 300 exhibitors showcasing a diverse range of products, from home decor and furniture to garden and landscaping, kitchen and bath, and a robust marketplace to take something home with you! Excitingly, this year’s addition to our exhibitor list is Superior Play Systems, introducing Pickleball courts that can be brought straight to homeowners’ backyards! Attendees at the Philly Home + Garden Show will have the unique opportunity to test drive these courts on our designated test courts, enabling them to experience the game with friends and family before deciding to make one a permanent addition to their own homes.

The origin of Pickleball traces back to its swift rise in popularity among adults, reaching a point where it has become a widely known and played sport. The Association of Pickleball Professionals reports that for the fifth consecutive year, Pickleball has maintained its status as the fastest-growing sport in the nation. A staggering 48.3 million U.S. adults (19% of the adult population) have engaged in at least one game in the past twelve months.

As the sport gains momentum, the concept of having a Pickleball court in one’s backyard is rapidly gaining traction. With soaring demand for courts, individuals are turning to their own outdoor spaces to fulfill their passion for the sport. Beyond being a popular recreational activity, Pickleball’s family-friendly nature and accessibility for all ages make the idea of a backyard court even more appealing. It not only provides an avenue for regular physical activity but also fosters additional family time and a source of outdoor fun for everyone.

In addition to featuring Pickleball courts, the Philly Home + Garden Show will showcase a special appearance by Clint Harp, the dumpster diving, reclaimed wood-loving carpenter building whatever renowned designer Joanna Gaines could dream up on HGTV’s hit show Fixer Upper. Currently, Harp is engaging audiences on Magnolia’s Network Restoration Road, where he aims to tell stories and inspire people everywhere to look at the things we think might be too difficult to revive and jump right in.

Join us for Clint Harp’s Main Stage shows on Saturday, February 24th, and Sunday, February 25th, where he will share valuable tips and tricks of the trade. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from this skilled craftsman and gain insight into the art of renovation and revitalization.
