MKE Night Market is back on Wednesday, July 24

MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Night Market, presented by Clover® from Fiserv, returns to West Wisconsin Avenue for the second time this summer on Wednesday, July 24. The free event features over 100 local vendors, artists and performers, transforming the Westown neighborhood into an exciting fusion of the best the city has to offer. The Milwaukee Night market is held from 5 to 10 p.m. on West Wisconsin Avenue between 2nd Street and Vel R. Phillips Avenue.

“The 10th season of the Night Market is off to an incredible start. The first Market in June had amazing energy, beautiful weather and a great variety of vendors and entertainment, attracting one of our biggest crowds yet,” said Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Association. “We truly couldn’t have asked for a better night and can’t wait to do it all over again on July 24.”

“We look forward to celebrating local small businesses as the Milwaukee Night Market continues,” said Bob Hau, Chief Financial Officer, Fiserv. “For 40 years, Fiserv has been shaping the financial services and payments landscape, powering global financial institutions and main street businesses. Through Clover®, our small business management platform with flexible payment capabilities, we are proud to support the entrepreneurs that are the fabric of our headquarters hometown.”

A variety of local, diverse businesses will participate in the event including artists, restaurateurs, crafters and makers of all sorts. A full list of vendor and sponsor booths, along with a map of the footprint, can be found at mkenightmarket.com/july-vendors.

During the July Market, the Kohl’s Entertainment Zone will feature an exciting lineup of performances that will surprise and delight the thousands of guests in attendance. Emmit James will start the night with a live music performance featuring an electric violinist, followed by pop-up performances by Tamarind Belly Dance and Milwaukee Hittaz Drumline. Then, the main intersection will transform into a dance floor with sets from DJ Don B and DJ Gemini Gilly.
