Wait Till You See the Temps this Summer

Written by Dallas Market Center | April 21, 2026

When you come to the summer Total Home & Gift Market this June 24 to 27, you’re going to see a totally reimagined Temps, reorganized into two buildings including a new destination for 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,” said 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:

  • The World Trade Center 13th floor, an expansive new destination for apparel, jewelry, fashion accessories and a juried fashion collection called Boutique.

  • World Trade Center 12th floor remains the largest collection of new exhibitors, trending products and one-of-a-kind finds with an updated layout with easy access to categories across the floor.

  • World Trade Center 11th floor is the new home of Cash & Carry, previously located at Market Hall, which includes gifts, home décor and vintage plus the addition of GO Texan products of gifts and gourmet from across the state of Texas.

  • The Trade Mart 1 Pavilion continues to offer 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,” added Amy Harper, executive vice president of Marketing. “We have product destinations that are easy to work, fabulous merchandise, and high energy. The list of great companies participating continues to grow.”
