Fri 2/4-Sun 2/13
The Great Big Home & Garden Show, which sakes place every year at the I-X Center (yeah, it’s apparently still open for business) is indeed “great big.” The sprawling show features hundreds of displays, vendors, and demo stages — from gardens and landscaping to model homes, home cleaning products to storage systems, cookware to entertainment systems, saunas to jewelry, exercise equipment to herbs. It’ a garden show, home improvement show and craft show all in one. And yes, there’s food so you can take a break to eat.
The show runs nine days so if trying to do it all in one day sounds too exhausting, you can always come back. It opens at 10am each day with different closing times depending on the day of the week. Adult admission online in advance is $13; it’s $15 at the box office.
