Spring is finally here, and with that comes the Holliston Home Expo 2026, which will take place on Saturday, April 11th, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Holliston High School Field House. The home vendor showcase is the brainchild of the Executive Partner and Realtors® Lynne Ritucci and Timothy Swift, of Realty Executives Boston West, and it’s in its second year.

“The event last year was a great success, and we are excited to build on that,” says Ritucci, adding, “We had over 500 visitors, and over 35 vendors. It was such a fun community event, and the food trucks were a big hit, as well as a special appearance by Chase from “Paw Patrol,” all of whom will be visiting the Expo again this year. One vendor gave out free beach balls, and the middle of the high school gym was alive with many children hitting dozens of beachballs in the air and having a great time.”

The Holliston Home Expo gave residents a chance to talk with vendors to get inspiration for home projects, as well as contacts for future projects.

“It wasn’t just a place to go to find out about home improvement, but a way to connect with local businesses,” says Ritucci. Vendors enjoyed the opportunity to have real conversations with homeowners in a fun atmosphere.

Homeowners will connect with trusted professionals in home maintenance, landscaping, renovation, design and more. Businesses such as licensed home inspectors, solar energy experts, landscapers, builders, mold remediation specialists, mortgage professionals, real estate experts, and more will be gathered in under one roof, where attendees can discover valuable resources, ask questions, and explore solutions for their homes.

Ritucci adds that, for the most part, participating vendors are all small businesses, from a plethora of backgrounds, who were able to meet potential clients, build brand awareness, and generate leads. In order to present a variety of businesses, the Holliston Home Show will welcome only two to three businesses of the same service area. 

“Most (the vendors) last year said, ‘Let us know about next year,’” says Ritucci, noting many who had never before participated in a home show felt inspired to get more creative with their booths this year.

Professionals not only connect with customers, but they also connect with potential colleagues and other businesses that complement their offerings. Colin Emmons, who started his mold remediation service, Above All Mold Removal in 2024, was able to connect with a local home inspector looking for a specialty contractor in his field.

“The Holliston Home Expo expanded our network in a meaningful way, and it has helped us grow our business mutually through referrals,” says Emmons.

“It’s a way to promote ‘shop local,’” says Ritucci, who couldn’t be more pleased with last year’s response. “We love doing this event and are so excited to bring it back for its second year. We’re bringing local business in the home sphere together to introduce themselves and their business to visitors, to share ideas, expertise and inspiration while building community,” she says, “And the food trucks certainly add to the fun atmosphere!”

The 2026 Holliston Home Expo is a free event, but monetary donations for the Holliston Pantry Shelf will be gratefully accepted at the door. Since fees generated pay for marketing expenses and costs for space, any money left over is also donated to the food pantry. Last year, the event generated a $700 donation to combat food insecurity in town.
