Milwaukee Night Market, presented by Clover®, returns to West Wisconsin Avenue on September 10
MILWAUKEE – Summer may be winding down, but there is still fun to be had at the next Milwaukee Night Market on Wednesday, September 10. Presented by Clover®, the Market features over 100 local vendors, artists, performers and more. The Milwaukee Night Market is held on West Wisconsin Avenue between 2nd Street and Vel R. Phillps Avenue from 5 to 9 p.m.
“We are always excited for an opportunity to introduce a new audience to the Westown neighborhood, and College Night is the perfect way for area students to get a taste of life off-campus,” said Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Association. “We hope the Night Market will serve as a catalyst, not only for students, but for all visitors to become regular patrons of our downtown neighborhood.”
“Fiserv is proud to be the presenting sponsor of the Milwaukee Night Market, a vibrant celebration of the city’s creativity and entrepreneurial spirit,” said Bob Hau, Chief Financial Officer of Fiserv. “Through Clover, the world’s smartest point-of-sale and business management system, we’re empowering local vendors to thrive and deliver seamless experiences to marketgoers. We’re excited to help create another memorable evening for Milwaukeeans and visitors alike.”
A variety of local businesses will participate in the event including artists, restaurateurs and makers of all sorts. Five Madison-based vendors will also make their debut at the Milwaukee Night Market on September 10 following the participation of select Milwaukee makers that vended at the Madison Night Market on August 21. This vendor exchange was driven by a partnership between Westown Association, Madison’s Central Business Improvement District and Hoan Group with the goal of promoting regional collaboration between the state’s two economic drivers. A full list of this month’s vendors can be found at mkenightmarket.com/september-vendors.
The Plaza Pop-Up is also back this month at the northeast corner of Vel R. Phillips Plaza where attendees can sing tunes at the Bars & Recreation mobile karaoke suite and enjoy a draft beverage from the Draft & Co. vintage beer truck. See full details on the special activations at mkenightmarket.com/special-activations-september.
