The Maricopa County Home & Landscape Show is set to return to State Farm Stadium from July 17-19, bringing with it one of the Southwest’s largest gatherings dedicated to home improvement, outdoor living, and seasonal inspiration. Held inside the stadium’s air-conditioned comfort with free parking, the three-day event offers exhibits, workshops, and activities designed to spark ideas for summer-ready homes and desert living.
With more than 900 vendor booths, attendees can explore patio furniture, turf, pool remodeling, and shade solutions to home décor, cooling systems, and outdoor upgrades. The event is an immersive experience, giving homeowners direct access to local experts and exclusive show pricing. One of the event’s standout features is The Taste Elevated Cooking Stage, where Chef Mitch Bell of Seared Living will lead live demonstrations, from fresh pasta-making to infused oils, entertaining boards, and tastings.
“Guests can enjoy food workshops and live culinary demos. We also have DIY workshops, seminars, a living greenhouse, kids’ activities, and more – we are proud to offer something for everyone,” Show Director Katie Jones said. “We are very fortunate to host our 12th annual backpack drive with the Maricopa County Office of Superintendent to collect school backpacks and supplies for valley students in need.”
Plant lovers will find a Plant Pavilion filled with houseplants, succulents, cacti, trees, and décor, while the Living Greenhouse offers a more immersive botanical experience complete with exotic plants, reptiles, and bioactive habitats. Daily reptile meet-and-greets at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. add a unique educational twist.
Hands-on workshops remain a major draw, with attendees able to create herb gardens, transplant seedlings, learn mesquite milling techniques, and build succulent arrangements. Master Gardener seminars will also cover topics like water-saving gardening, pollinator-friendly plants, and palm care, offering practical knowledge tailored to Arizona’s climate.
Handmade Headquarters will host make-and-take sessions such as custom room sprays, personalized aprons, whipped body butter, and decorated glassware. Meanwhile, Plant Bingo adds a playful social element, giving guests a chance to win botanical-themed prizes throughout the event.
The show also continues its community focus through its annual backpack drive. Attendees can receive discounted or free admission by donating backpacks or school supplies, with contributions supporting thousands of children across Maricopa County. Learn more at Maricopa County Home Shows & Expos.
