Dallas is where a lot of retail buying gets decided before a shopper ever sees a product. Dallas Market Center runs wholesale markets for home and gift, apparel and accessories, lighting and kids' products on a published calendar, and the 2027 dates are already announced. If you sell through Shopify, that calendar does two jobs. It tells you when buyers are looking at new lines, so your wholesale sheets and your launch dates should be ready, and it gives your own storefront a set of dated reasons to run a bundle: new for spring, new for fall, the weeks right after a market. This page lists the markets we could verify, flags the August dates that two of the center's own pages disagree on, gives the Dallas tax rate and population, and builds a bundle plan from the dates.
Pick the two or three products that sell together and price the bundle from your margin math, then check the plan requirements on our pricing page for bundle templates. Fix the end date in the same sitting so the offer cannot run on.
If you also sell apparel, accessories or kids' products, keep the bundle to one category and the markets in the same week, so shoppers see a single offer instead of three.

Launch a new-for-spring bundle for the combined market week and end it the following weekend. A fixed window of about a week keeps the discount from becoming the regular price.

Choose one window for the summer or fall bundle, and confirm the August dates with the center before you rely on them.

Dallas sits in five county sections of the Comptroller's table, all at an 8.25 percent total rate, so a shopper in the city sees the same rate whichever county line their address falls under. A bundle priced at 100 dollars adds 8.25 dollars of tax.

The Total Home & Gift Market runs January 6 to 12, 2027. A bundle of two or three home or gift items, launched on the first day and ended on the last, gives the offer a dated reason and a clear stop. Check the bundle's margin before you price it, and keep each component's own price visible.
March 16 to 19, 2027 combines the apparel and accessories market with a gift and home market, so it suits a consumer launch that says new for spring. Run the bundle for the four days of the market and one weekend after.

June 23 to 29, 2027 has the summer home and gift market, and the apparel market runs a week earlier. Use one of these weeks, not both, so you do not discount twice in two weeks.

The center's calendar and its press release give different August 2027 dates for the apparel market, 24 to 27 and 17 to 20. A bundle built around one of them is a bet. Wait for the center to confirm, or choose the September gift and home market instead.
Dallas Market Center brings retailers and interior designers together with manufacturers on a fixed calendar, so a brand that sells wholesale or to local boutiques can plan product drops and bundles around the same weeks.
The Total Home & Gift Market at Dallas Market Center runs January 6 to 12, 2027, with Lightovation and The Temps on January 6 to 9.
