Casual Market Atlanta Offers Complete Market Resources and Experience for Fall Edition

Building on the growth of casual and outdoor sourcing at AmericasMart Atlanta, Casual Market Atlanta is expanding the market experience for its fall edition, launching a new four-day format with more than 70 permanent showrooms and more than 50 temporary exhibitors along with a full lineup of premier events and education, September 16-19, 2024, at AmericasMart Atlanta.

“The demand for a second sourcing opportunity is palpable, and the addition of a full four-day buying event in September not only meets the needs of the industry, but also provides buyers and suppliers with an unmatched market experience twice a year,” said Dorothy Belshaw, President of ANDMORE℠. “Expanding the exhibits and events into the summer provides July market attendees with the opportunity to continue buying into the fall and meets the needs of retailers who may be too busy during the summer months to attend the market.”

Beginning in September 2024, the Fall edition of Casual Market Atlanta will feature four full days of sourcing from temporary exhibitors and permanent showrooms. The fall buying event will feature more than 120 casual furniture and outdoor accessories brands on floors 2-6 of Building 1 at AmericasMart Atlanta. Notable permanent showrooms include: Agio, Brown Jordan Brands, Gensun, Lloyd Flanders, OW Lee, POLYWOOD, Summer Classics, Sunset West, Telescope Casual, Treasure Garden, Vanguard and Woodard Brands.
