Dallas Market Center:

Dallas Market Center is a global business-to-business trade center and the leading wholesale marketplace in North America connecting retailers and interior designers with top manufacturers in home décor, furniture, gifts, lighting and fashion. Inside its dynamic, five million square foot campus near downtown Dallas, nearly 200,000 customers from all 50 states and 85 countries seek industry trends, business education and new products via open-daily showrooms and from exhibitors participating in trade events held throughout the year.

Trade Mart:

Trade Mart is home to hundreds of showrooms featuring gifts, decorative accents, lighting, tabletop and stationery. Opened in 1959, its four floors surround an atrium called The Grand Pavilion at the Trade Mart, featuring the largest indoor marketplace pond complete with live fish and palm trees. Many special events are held here including the Dallas Fashion Awards gala, ARTS Awards gala and private parties. It was also the destination of the President John F. Kennedy motorcade in 1963 where he was scheduled to give a speech to 2,600 people at a sold-out luncheon. In 1964, Elisabeth Frink of England created the bronze sculpture “The Eagle” in honor of the president. It sits outside the main Trade Mart entrance today. The building was expanded in 1976 and 2007 and now has approximately one million square feet of space. Dallas Market Center management and marketing offices are located on the fifth floor of this building.

This is the only building on the campus opened to the public, hosting more than 60 consumer shows each year and housing temporary trade shows during market weeks. It opened in 1960 and contains 202,000 square feet. Want to know what shows are coming up? Take a look at the Market Hall calendar of events.
