Madison Night Market

The second Madison Night Market is tomorrow. This new event is designed to draw special attention to the unique creative businesses downtown and in the Madison area. The Market is open on Thursday, June 8 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and runs along West Gilman Street where Gilman Street meets State Street. Last month more than 5,000 people attended the inaugural event.

Madison Night Market is a celebration of Madison's unique and inspiring creative culture. Vendors showcase handmade products, local art, artisan gifts, prepackaged foods and fresh produce. The event includes live music, giant board games, special visiting food carts and pop-up restaurant experiences. The Market is presented by Madison's Central Business Improvement District (BID) in partnership with the City of Madison. Partnerships with the Dane County Farmer’s Market, Overture Center for the Arts, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, and more ensure this event is a citywide representation of our community’s talent.

Many downtown businesses are also participating in the Night Market and/or holding a special event or sale in their own place of business. The Night Market website lists the participating businesses and vendors and their respective specials. The Market, located along West Gilman Street in the heart of downtown Madison is held the second Thursday of the months of May, June and July in 2017. From 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. downtown residents and visitors are invited to come celebrate all things Madison.
