At our show you are in charge. You get to choose which exhibitors to “interview” and then compare their business offerings face-to-face on your terms. We take away the “fear” of the hardsell stranger invading your home after that 1-800 appointment you made, or that list recommendation web site you clicked on. You will be able to evaluate your potential source on your terms. If the “fit” is not there, you move on to find just the right professional somewhere else at the show. Thousands of attendees have even made our Home Shows an annual experience. They get to know many of our hundreds of exhibitors and even become casual friends with some. Then when ready to proceed on a project, they have greater confidence, which can ultimately save time and money.By California State Law, all of our exhibitors, requiring licenses, are checked for good standing with the state licensing board. This gives you another measure of confidence.
Thank you to our valued sponsors

Kids Workshop
Here’s a great activity you can share with your kids… and it’s free! Quality Home Services FREE Kids Workshops offer fun and useful number of cool projects for your little project helper to enjoy. The workshops are great for 5- to 12-year-olds, and they teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety and at the same time they help to instill a sense of accomplishment. If your little builder is under 5, that’s fine, too, but you’ll need to provide a little more supervision. We see parents getting into the fun, too, no matter the age of the participants. The workshops create quality, one-on-one fun time between you and your children or nieces, nephews. The Kids Workshop will be located in the Kids Korner area between buildings 3 & 4.
Child ID Program
The Kern County Sheriffs Department Child Identification Program is a community service initiative dedicated to providing parents and guardians with critical information in the event that a child goes missing. It’s also fun and fee. The Child ID table will be located in building 1.
Tips to Enjoy the Show
Here are some hints to help you get the most out of the Bakersfield Fall Home Show and have a pleasant experience.
- Make A List. Take some time before coming to the home show to jot down projects you’d like to tackle. Browse the exhibitor list to see which vendors interest you the most.
- At Each Entrance… be sure to pick up a home show program to direct you around the showgrounds.
- Check out the map for the location of your favorite exhibitor, feature or where to win a prize.
- Attend a Seminar. A big part of the Home Show is the ability to find people who know how to build, remodel, design, landscape and provide the products and services that you need. Another way is to attend a seminar to tap into that expertise. All seminars are free.
