State Fair Classic Weekend brings Grambling State and Prairie View A&M to Dallas, and it brings their people with them. MLK Blvd fills up from the afternoon into the night. We host the yard at Gamma House: turf, lounge seating, a curated market, music, and food.
Covered and off the street. The quietest space on the property and the easiest place to actually hear someone.
Turf, lounge furniture, umbrellas, the bar, and the DJ. Where people settle in for hours rather than minutes.
Black owned brands, makers, and food. Selected, not first come, so the shopping is worth your time.
Come through, bring your people, and stay as long as you want. More on how to join us as we get closer.
Vendor applications are open now. Brand partnerships for the day are available across all three zones.
We are selecting a small number of brands, makers, and food vendors for the yard at Gamma House. Limited tables. Selected, not first come.
A table in the market with room to display properly, not a card table wedged behind a tent line.
Afternoon into the night. People settle in and come back to a booth they liked earlier.
We cap the number of vendors and limit overlap in any one category. Fewer tables, better traffic per table.
Selected vendors are featured across our channels ahead of the day, not just listed on a map.
About five minutes. We review as applications come in and respond to everyone, selected or not. Applications close when the market is full.
Three zones. Category exclusivity. Eight hours with a crowd that traveled in for the 101st State Fair Classic. Roughly 10,000 people move along MLK across the day and 500 come through the property and stay.
Levels are a starting point, not a menu. If your brand has a specific idea for the day, we would rather build the package around it.
