Bringing Northern Minnesota’s Building Community Together
In March 2026, the Arrowhead Builders Association joined forces with the Duluth Heritage Sports Center to launch the inaugural Build North Expo. Created specifically to serve homeowners across our region, the expo offers an interactive, hands-on environment where you can compare products, explore design trends, and meet face-to-face with trusted local professionals before starting your next project.
The Build North Difference: 100% Focused on Building
Unlike typical home shows packed with high-pressure sales pitches for unrelated retail products, the Build North Expo features zero point-of-sale vendors.
Every exhibitor on the floor is directly tied to the building, remodeling, and home improvement industries. You won't have to dodge pitchmen selling cookware, or novelty items. Every conversation you have will be with licensed contractors, skilled tradespeople, and local material suppliers dedicated exclusively to home construction and design.
What You'll Discover at the Expo

Vetted Local Contractors: Connect directly with licensed builders, remodelers, roofers, landscapers, and trade specialists serving Northern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin.
