High Point Market Registration Opens, Jimmy Buffett Band Headlines Center Stage

Online registration for the fall edition of High Point Market is now open, and the High Point Market Authority (HPMA) has named the legendary Coral Reefer Band, assembled by the late Jimmy Buffett, as the Saturday night headliner for Center Stage. The music choice coincides with the High Point Market launch of the Margaritaville Collection from Hooker Furnishings, which is sponsoring the concert.

The eight-member group, led by 10-time CMA Musician of the Year Mac McAnally, has toured globally and performed at renowned venues including Madison Square Garden and The Hollywood Bowl.

“With support from Hooker Furnishings, Margaritaville, and Chalk Hill Wines, we’re thrilled to bring this iconic band to Center Stage,” says Tammy Covington, HPMA president and CEO. “After registering for Fall Market, be sure to mark your calendar for what is certain to be an incredible night of entertainment, hospitality, and community.”

The Fall High Point Market runs October 25–29.

Chalk Hill Wines is the official wine sponsor for this season’s Center Stage weekend events; they will additionally serve their selections throughout Market dates in this location.

A valid Fall 2025 Market pass is required for admission to Center Stage events. Entry will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited capacity. Early access for buyers begins at 6:15 p.m. For all other passholders, doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. concert. Complimentary food and beverages will be available. Guests under 15 years of age will not be admitted.

Market registration is offered at no charge to qualified U.S. and international buyers – including retailers, dealers, and professional interior designers – as well as to press, exhibitor representatives, and students. A registration fee applies to all other industry professionals. To receive Market passes by mail, attendees must register before October 10 (or by September 26 for international guests).

Guests are encouraged to register early and to contact the HPMA’s official Market Concierge, operated by Travel Quest, Inc., for assistance with accommodations, flights, and other travel arrangements.

“Early registration is the first step to prepare for a successful Fall Market,” Covington adds. “Also available at no charge, our travel concierge is on hand to help all Market guests secure the best travel options, including flights, hotel rates, ground transportation and more.”

Online registration will remain open through 11:59 p.m. ET on October 22. After this date, attendees must register onsite, where onsite fees will apply. For support with registration, contact the HPMA office at (336) 869-1000 during business hours (ET), or email registration@highpointmarket.org.

Center Stage is an open air venue located between the Showplace building and the Transportation Terminal, serving as a platform for HPMA’s signature concerts and outdoor activations. To learn more about Center Stage programming at Fall Market, click here.
