The Milwaukee Night Market returns to the heart of Downtown on Wednesday, June 14 from 5 to 10 p.m.
During the event, more than 100 vendors, artists and performers will showcase their talents.
The 2023 Markets will be held on four Wednesdays this summer: June 14, July 19, August 16 and September 13 from 5 to 10 p.m. on W. Wisconsin Ave. between 2nd Street and Vel R Phillips Avenue.
“Milwaukee is known as the City of Festivals, and we’re excited for the Milwaukee Night Market to be part of the esteemed lineup of summer events,” said Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Association.
“Four times each year, the Night Market creates a unique environment right in the heart of the Westown neighborhood that cannot be replicated. It is a special experience that should be on every Milwaukeean’s bucket list.”
A variety of local, diverse businesses will line West Wisconsin Avenue, featuring artists, restaurateurs, crafters and makers of all kinds. Due to the overwhelming number of vendor applications this season, the event expanded to include Second Street, creating room for an additional 20 vendor spots at each Market.
A full list of vendors and sponsor booths can be found at mkenightmarket.com.
During the June Market, attendees will be the first to experience Amped’s Mobile Karaoke Suite at the Night Market, located in the alley west of the Bradley Symphony Center.
The TRUE Skool Entertainment Zone, located in the main intersection of the Market, will feature DJs and performances throughout the night including DJ Stretch, DJ Oshie and Bembe Drum & Dance.
