By Edited by Megan Smalley

The Total Home & Gift Market will feature new Temps neighborhoods to improve navigation across the show floor.

With anticipation of more buyers attending Dallas Total Home & Gift Market this summer, Dallas Market Center has announced the evolution of the Temps for its June 2026 event. The reimagined show will feature all Temps neighborhoods in two buildings, including a new destination for juried fashion resources on the 13th floor of the World Trade Center.

“The Temps are the discovery zone for the newest, most in-demand products that can help retailers stand out,” says Dallas Market Center President and CEO Cindy Morris. “Presenting remerchandised portions of the show and updating the presentation of new exhibitors will help create even more traffic and opportunities for exhibitors to reach buyers.”

All categories of the Temps will be located in either the World Trade Center or Trade Mart. Highlights include:

  • World Trade Center 13th floor will be a go-to destination for jewelry, fashion accessories and a juried collection of apparel and accessories called Boutique.
  • World Trade Center 12th floor will offer a large collection of new and emerging exhibitors, trending products and one-of-a-kind finds, with an updated floor plan to ease navigation.
  • World Trade Center 11th floor is the new home of Cash & Carry, previously located at Market Hall, which includes gifts, home decor and vintage along with the addition of Go Texan products and gifts as well as gourmet from across the state of Texas.
  • Trade Mart 1 Pavilion will feature a juried collection of exhibitors called Luxe Design for fine gifts, home accents and tabletop.

“Visiting the Temps at Total Home & Gift Market is now even easier,” says Amy Harper, executive vice president of marketing for Dallas Market Center. “We have product destinations that can be seamlessly browsed, with fabulous merchandise and high energy. The list of great companies participating continues to grow.”

Supporting the Temps for June will be marketing and events promoting the new and legacy neighborhoods, together with the trends and stories behind their products. Also supporting the Temps is an updated onboarding program for exhibitors that includes a series of complimentary webinars with trade show, retail expert and Shark Tank alum Joelle Flynn, who offers practical advice on how to successfully build a business in the Temps in Dallas.

Attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to book travel now for the June edition of the Total Home & Gift Market to secure availability and typical rates within Dallas Market Center’s official hotel blocks, especially with World Cup games taking place in the region. The show kicks off June 24-30 at Dallas Market Center, with more details available at www.dallasmarketcenter.com.
