It’s been a long and hard winter, and thoughts of that spring and summer fix-up project are probably foremost in many people’s minds.
Well, the best place to get the materials and expertise to do those projects can be found at the 65th Annual West Branch Susquehanna Builders’ Association Home Show to be held at the Liberty Arena in downtown Williamsport, March 13 to 15.
“The Home Show brings together a lot of great local businesses and community partners in one place. We’re looking forward to another strong weekend of sharing ideas and helping people move their projects forward,” WBSBA President Jason Shifflet told Webb Weekly.
Now in its third year at Liberty Arena, the Home Show will once again be held in the arena’s spacious, comfortable open layout. The venue also offers a variety of family-friendly amenities, including an arcade, bowling, a trampoline park, and on-site dining, making it an easy destination for a full day out.
The Home Show provides a great opportunity for homeowners, families, and future builders to explore ideas, gather information, and connect with local professionals as spring approaches.
The show will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, March 13, followed by the show opening to the public at 3 p.m.
Show hours are:
• Friday, March 13: 3-7 p.m.
• Saturday, March 14: 11 am.-7 p.m.
• Sunday, March 15: 12-4 p.m.
Attendees can expect to find inspiration, practical advice, and a wide range of resources all in one place.
Exhibitors will be available throughout the weekend to answer questions and help visitors explore ideas for upcoming projects.
Exhibitors represent nearly every sector of the building and home improvement industry, including home builders, remodelers, design professionals, kitchen and bath specialists, flooring, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, windows and doors, decks, fencing, paving, real estate, lending, custom furniture, home security, community agencies, and more. A complete vendor directory and map of the show layout are available on pages 31 & 32.
According to Laura Kriger, an official with the WBSBA, the Home Show is made possible through the support of volunteers, including students from the Williamsport Area High School Construction Trades Program, Lycoming Career & Technology Center, and the Penn College Construction Association, as well as many dedicated members of the Builders Association. The event is organized with the help of just one paid staff member and countless volunteers.
“One thing we’re especially proud of is our partnership with several community organizations that will have booths at the show, including the Department of Health, Veterans Affairs, and the YWCA. We feel strongly that the Home Show should reflect the full strength of our community, not just businesses, but also organizations that provide important services to residents. Having them represented gives attendees access to health resources, veteran services, housing support, and community programs all in one place,” stated Kriger.
In addition, this year’s Home Show nonprofit donation will benefit the YWCA. Supporting organizations that directly serve families and individuals in our community is important to us, and they’re grateful to partner with them this year and to have the Show be a place for them to get their mission and message out there.
Another meaningful part of the show each year is student involvement. We have students volunteering from Williamsport Area High School and Pennsylvania College of Technology, and they’re especially excited about the brand-new student chapter at Lycoming Career and Technology Center.
According to Kriger, these students help with setup and teardown, but the real value lies in the interactions that occur during that time. Vendors and students naturally start conversations, and those conversations often lead to internships, mentorships, and sometimes even job opportunities. It’s a hands-on way to connect education and industry, and it helps strengthen the workforce pipeline right here in our region. Supporting the next generation of skilled trades professionals is a core priority for our Association, and the Home Show plays a key role in that.
The Home Show has been a part of this community for 65 years now, and they’re honored to continue that tradition. It’s really about bringing people together-businesses, homeowners, students, and community partners, all under one roof.
WBSBA would also like to thank its 2026 Premier Sponsors, JB Gibbons and PDC Spas, for their continued support of the Home Show.
Attendees are encouraged to share their experience on social media using #WestBranchHomeShow2026 and to follow the West Branch Susquehanna Builders Association on Facebook for updates and event information.
Admission is $5 for adults, and children 18 and under are admitted free with an adult. Tickets are available at the door (cash only).
