Mad Streetwear market

Mad Streetwear Market (MSWM) is Durham’s premier fashion and culture event—where streetwear, sneakers, and local creative energy collide. Hosted in the heart of downtown, MSWM brings together 50+ independent clothing brands, vintage vendors, sneaker resellers, artists, and designers from across the Carolinas and beyond for a full-day immersive shopping and networking experience. With music, food trucks, and an energetic crowd, the event celebrates community, creativity, and commerce in a way that’s accessible to all. Our mission is to grow Durham’s identity as a hub for fashion, culture, and entrepreneurship, while driving tourism and visitor spending. MSWM draws hundreds of attendees each season, including out-of-town visitors, students, collectors, and influencers. The event is open to the public and designed to highlight diverse small businesses and emerging fashion voices. It’s more than a market—it’s a cultural moment.
