DALLAS MAADE,

About the event

AAREA CODE: Dallas Maade is an interactive pop-up experience created to bring Dallas creatives, vendors, brands, and community members together under one roof. The event highlights local fashion, food, art, music, games, services, and culture while giving people a space to shop, network, discover new businesses, and enjoy a curated community experience.

More than just a vendor market, Dallas Maade is built to feel like a shared third space where people can connect, support local talent, and experience the creative energy of Dallas in a fun and intentional way.

Why should you sponsor?

Sponsoring AAREA CODE: Dallas Maade gives your brand the opportunity to connect directly with a young, creative, and community-focused audience in Dallas.

AAREA Code

My name is Timi Afolabi, and I am one of the organizers behind AAREA CODE: Dallas Maade. I’m part of a young creative team that is focused on building real community experiences in Dallas through fashion, food, art, music, culture, and local business.

AAREA CODE was created because we saw a need for more intentional spaces where local brands, creatives, vendors, and community members could come together beyond a regular pop-up market. Dallas Maade is our way of giving small businesses and creatives a platform to be seen, supported, and connected with the people around them.

Sponsors can trust us because we are approaching this event with purpose, organization, and a clear vision. We have been actively building vendor relationships, communicating with local businesses, creating promotional content, and curating an event that is designed to benefit both attendees and participating brands. Our goal is not only to host an event, but to create an experience that reflects the energy, creativity, and community of Dallas.

By partnering with us, sponsors are supporting a team that is passionate, hands-on, and committed to making Dallas Maade a meaningful event for the community. We understand that sponsorship is an investment, and we take that seriously. Our focus is to make sure every sponsor receives authentic visibility, community engagement, and a valuable connection to the audience we are bringing together.
