If winter has you staring at your walls thinking “we really need to do something with this space” — you’re not alone. January is prime time for dreaming, planning, and figuring out how to tackle home projects without overspending.

That’s why the Minneapolis Home + Remodeling Show is such a great event for Twin Cities homeowners. It’s happening January 30 – February 1, 2026 at U.S. Bank Stadium, and it’s packed with remodeling ideas, trusted local businesses, and even a few HGTV stars — all under one roof!

And yes, I’ve got an exclusive 50% discount to help you save on tickets!

What is the Minneapolis Home + Remodeling Show?

This show is especially great if you’re:

You’ll find 220+ trusted local exhibitors covering:

Bonus: It’s all inside U.S. Bank Stadium, so no weather worries!

HGTV Stars You Can See (Included with Admission!)

One thing I love about these shows is that the celebrity appearances don’t cost extra.

Leslie Davis & Lyndsay Lamb (Unsellable Houses)

If you love HGTV, you probably know these twin sisters. They’re the stars of Unsellable Houses and winners of Rock the Block — and they’re full of practical advice for real homeowners.

Appearances:

• Friday at 4 p.m.

• Saturday at 1 p.m.

Matt Muenster (Bath Crashers)

Minnesota-based designer and contractor Matt Muenster is always a favorite. His talks are especially helpful if you’re thinking about:

• Bathroom updates

• Hiring contractors

• Avoiding costly remodel mistakes

On stage:

• Friday at 2 p.m.

• Saturday at 3 p.m.

• Sunday at 12 p.m.

Show Highlights Families & Budget-Minded Homeowners Will Love

NEW: Backyard Bunkhouse

This was one of the first things that caught my eye. These customizable backyard bunkhouses are perfect for:

• Kids’ sleepovers

• Guests

• In-laws

• Or even a future teen hangout space

Great for dreaming and seeing what’s realistically possible.

Tomorrow’s Designer Showcase

Dunwoody College students designed custom lighting fixtures, and they’re on display at the show. It’s a fun way to:

• Support local students

• Get creative lighting ideas

• Bring kids along to see hands-on career paths

Artists’ Studio

Local artists will be creating and selling one-of-a-kind pieces you can actually take home — perfect if you’re trying to add personality without buying mass-produced décor.

FREE Admission with a Purpose: “Throw in the Towel for Bridging”

This is such a great Twin Cities touch.

Bring new or gently used towels (bath, kitchen, dishcloths) and get FREE admission while helping Bridging, a local nonprofit that supports housing stability.

As a mom, I love events that make it easy to give back.
