Remodeling, tiny trees, skating: Hyannis Home, Garden & Lifestyle Show is free this year

The Hyannis Home, Garden and Lifestyle Show returns for its 65th year, this time bringing more than 50 vendors and a slew of speakers and activities to a new location. 

The show, which takes place from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on March 23 and is hosted by the Hyannis Rotary Club, celebrates its first year at its new home, the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. In years past, the show was held at Barnstable High School. 

“This is kind of an enhancement to our prior situation,” said Scott Petersen, co-chair of the show. 

The show features a sold-out floor of over 70 exhibitor booths ranging from home improvement companies — such as Bay State Bath, Roofing & Siding of Cape Cod, and A.B.S. Fence Inc. — gardening businesses like Beacon Gardens at Osterville and Hyannis Country Garden and some lifestyle-focused businesses such as Adventures With Karyn, a travel planning company., a travel planning company. 

“You could go from booth to booth and find out some background information about how much (home improvements) would cost,” Petersen said. “It’s used as a general resource and then it gives you a name, a face and a phone number that you can then work with to decide exactly what you might want to do that year or the next year.”

Also, non-profit organizations, such as Hearts and Paws Comfort Dogs, Colorful Kidz, and the Cape Cod Bonsai Club will be taking over a section of the floor — described as “Non-profit Way,” by Petersen — to meet with visitors and share their goals and missions.
