Jacksonville Home + Patio Show

About this event

The Jacksonville Home + Patio Show returns to the Prime Osborn Convention Center for its fall edition October 2-4 with hundreds of local home improvement and renovation experts, hands-on activities and special guests. While most consumers begin a home improvement project online, the show fills the niche where online research leaves off –getting specific advice and questions answered by knowledgeable, local experts when it comes to their home projects. The show’s special guests are the energetic hosts of PBS’ America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country, Bridget Lancaster and Julia Collin Davison. They’ll share inside-the-kitchen secrets for how the show works, from recipe development to ingredient testing. The real-life friends will keep audiences engaged and laughing as they discuss their favorite recipes, kitchen gadgets they can’t live without, culinary techniques and tips for foodies and aspiring culinary connoisseurs alike.
