Downtown Raleigh Home Show 2027 — Where to Stay

The Downtown Raleigh Home Show returns to the Atlantic Union Bank Convention Center from January 22 to 24, 2027, turning three days into Raleigh's largest in-person marketplace for home products, renovation services and design inspiration. Hundreds of exhibitors fill the show floor with kitchens, baths, roofing, HVAC, smart-home tech, landscaping and interior décor, and most vendors offer exclusive show pricing you can't find online. The Fresh Ideas Stage hosts hourly presentations from local builders and design pros, while the Mah Jongg room, Visit-Stamp-Win passport and show sweepstakes give attendees reasons to linger between appointments. Bring your floor plans, paint swatches or a phone full of inspiration photos and get real answers face-to-face instead of scrolling through forums. Tickets are valid any one day of the weekend. Friday is Senior Day with discounted admission for guests 60+, plus a 5-after-5 rate for the after-work crowd. Heroes — military, veterans, first responders — teachers, school staff and nurses are admitted free all three days with valid ID, and children 13 and under enter at no cost. The venue sits in the heart of downtown Raleigh, two blocks from the Raleigh Marriott City Center and within walking distance of Fayetteville Street restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. If you're travelling in for the show, staying downtown puts the convention center, hotels and evening dining all within a few blocks.
