The Milwaukee Night Market returns for its final event of the season this Wednesday, Sept. 11.
The free, outdoor mega-block party takes place from 5 to 10 p.m. on West Wisconsin Avenue between 2nd Street and Vel R. Phillips Avenue. More than 100 local vendors will participate in the fun. The diverse lineup features artists, restaurateurs, farmers, crafters and makers of all kinds.
“The Night Market is a special experience that should be on every Milwaukeean’s bucket list,” says Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Association.
We agree, and here are 8 vendors – in no particular order – to check out while you’re there:
1. Scoops & Spokes Creamery – It's part ice-cream cart, part bicycle and completely adorable. Look for it on the streets of Night Market and treat yo'self to a handcrafted ice-cream cookie sandwich.
2. Twisted Plants – Twisted Plants returns for the final Market and is ready to wow you with their plant-based creations, from vegan burgers to chick'n nuggets.
3. Xankia – If you haven't tried Xankia's Vietnamese-American eats it's time to change that. The Banh Mi sandwiches are delicious.
4. MJD Apiary – Meet urban beekeepers and try their honey, dark chocolates and beeswax products.
5. April Elizabeth Art - Get a glimpse into the lush, imaginative mind of April Elizabeth and grab one of her prints, pins or stickers.
6. Lala's Empanadas– This West Allis-based food truck will cruise into Night Market with warm empanadas made from a recipe invented by the owner's grandmother. Vegan available.
7. Twisted Tinsel – Get some tinsel twisted into your hair to add sparkle to your look. It's fast and fun!
8. OnMilwaukee – It's "Chaser Night" at the ol' OnMilwaukee tent. Swing by to find out what that means!
