Westown and NEWaukee announced today that the one-of-a-kind, free, outdoor street festival is returning with four events this summer.
The Night Market features a variety of local Milwaukee vendors, performers, food trucks and artists and will take place on West Wisconsin Avenue between 2nd Street and Vel R. Phillips Avenue from 5 to 10 p.m. on the following dates:
- Wednesday, June 15
- Wednesday, July 13
- Wednesday, Aug. 17
- Wednesday, Sept. 21
After the Market’s cancellation in 2020 due to you-know-what, Westown Association hosted a single evening of the Night Market in 2021, which attracted over 25,000 attendees to the Downtown neighborhood and featured over 100 diverse vendors.
American Family Insurance is returning as a partner for the second year, sponsoring vendor fees for ten BIPOC entrepreneurs at each of the four markets by selecting an array of vendors that feature ethnic diversity and gender parity. Other sponsors include GRAEF, Gruber Law Offices, Miller Lite and We Energies Foundation.
