What is High Point Market?
High Point Market is the international home furnishings industry trade show organized by the High Point Market Authority. Held twice a year across 180+ buildings and showrooms in the city of High Point, North Carolina, it hosts thousands of exhibitors covering the full breadth of home furnishings: home furniture (dining, bedroom, living, occasional), contract furniture, upholstery, home décor and accessories, lighting, rugs, kitchen and tabletop, home textile, and adjacent interior-design categories.
High Point Market is trade-only — retail buyers, interior designers, hospitality-project specifiers, importers and international sourcing offices attend. Attendance is materially larger than any other US furniture-industry event and is the strategic anchor for annual buying decisions across the US furniture retail and design industries.
High Point Market — dates and calendar
High Point Market runs twice a year — a Spring edition typically in April and a Fall edition typically in October. Editions historically run 5-6 days. Specific edition dates are confirmed by the High Point Market Authority 6-12 months ahead of each edition. For current confirmed edition dates always refer to the official High Point Market event page.
The April Spring Market traditionally leads into the summer wholesale-order cycle for Fall/Winter retail delivery; the October Fall Market leads into the Spring/Summer wholesale-order cycle.
High Point venue and travel
High Point Market is not held at a single venue — the market is spread across 180+ buildings and showrooms throughout downtown High Point, North Carolina. Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) is the nearest airport (15-20 minutes to downtown High Point). Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) is approximately 90 minutes by road; Raleigh-Durham International (RDU) is approximately 90 minutes by road.
Recommended accommodation is downtown High Point or nearby Greensboro / Winston-Salem hotels. The market operates fair-week shuttle networks between showroom districts. International buyers combining High Point attendance with a subsequent India cluster visit have flight options through New York JFK-Delhi (Air India), Atlanta-Delhi (Delta, seasonal), or European connections.
High Point Market registration
High Point Market registration runs through the official High Point Market Authority event website. Registration is trade-only and requires business credentials — retail-buyer badge, interior-designer badge, importer badge, or media/trade-visitor credentials — verified against the applicable industry criteria. Registration terms and any pre-registration deadlines vary by edition — refer to the official website for current registration process.
