DALLAS — Dallas Market Center’s first event of the summer, the Total Home & Gift Market Summer Edition, is expected to take place June 23-29. Inquiries and new buyer registrations are up more than 50 percent over previous years, and many visitors are expected to travel from outside the geographic region to attend. The first market of the summer will also feature dozens of new showrooms and an expanded “pop-up neighborhood” market, including vintage/home/antiques and crafts/handmade/fair trade.
“Confidence is high as the number of buyers choosing Dallas as their exclusive market destination continues to grow and more brands join the most dynamic market in the United States. We are confident that the June show will help buyers easily, efficiently and safely discover what they need to help their businesses thrive,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of Dallas Market Center.
