Atlanta Apparel Summer 2026 Market: What to Expect

Atlanta Apparel Summer 2026 Market is preparing for a major June event as buyers, designers, and fashion brands get ready to gather in Atlanta next month.

The market will run June 4-14, 2026, alongside the Summer Atlanta Market at AmericasMart Atlanta. Organizers say the combined event will create a large “Two Markets, One Trip” experience for retailers and industry professionals.

This year’s market also shifts from its traditional July schedule because of the FIFA World Cup.

Atlanta Apparel Expands Summer Market

Organizers expect more than 6,500 lifestyle, fashion, home, and gift brands to participate during the June event.

The market will showcase trends in:

  • Women’s contemporary fashion
  • Young contemporary apparel
  • Accessories
  • Footwear
  • Children’s collections
  • Lifestyle products

Atlanta Apparel officials say the updated temporary floor plan will help buyers discover products across multiple categories more efficiently.

“By bringing together the best in fashion and lifestyle, we provide a holistic sourcing experience,” said Caron Stover, Senior Vice President of Apparel for ANDMORE.

New Brands and Showroom Expansions Arrive

The June market will also introduce a large number of new brands and showroom expansions.

New permanent showrooms include jewelry, apparel, lifestyle, and accessories companies joining the Atlanta Apparel lineup for the summer edition. In addition, several existing exhibitors are expanding their showroom space for the event.

Atlanta Apparel’s “First Finds” section will once again spotlight emerging brands and new designers.

Because the market runs alongside the Summer Atlanta Market, organizers redesigned parts of Building 3 to improve cross-category shopping and buyer movement between exhibits.

Events and Activations Add Energy

Atlanta Apparel will also feature networking events, activations, hospitality stations, and trend-focused experiences throughout the market.

Visitors can expect:

  • Daily breakfast service
  • Coffee and cappuccino bars
  • Cocktail stations
  • Wellness activations
  • Interactive giveaways
  • Designer lounges
  • Networking events

The market’s “Varsity Night: The Market Kickoff” event returns June 9 with a social gathering designed for buyers and exhibitors.

Organizers also confirmed the return of the “Market Stars” influencer program, where fashion retailers and industry experts share trend forecasts and product discoveries throughout the event.

Atlanta Continues Growing Fashion Industry Presence

Atlanta Apparel remains one of the largest fashion sourcing events in the United States.

Retail buyers from across the country travel to Atlanta each year to discover new brands, seasonal trends, and wholesale products for upcoming retail seasons.

The fashion industry continues evolving quickly, trade markets like Atlanta Apparel remain important for networking, sourcing, and trend forecasting.

Organizers say the June market reflects growing demand for more connected lifestyle and fashion experiences under one roof.

As the Summer 2026 market approaches, Atlanta Apparel continues positioning Atlanta as a major destination for fashion business and retail sourcing.
