The Milwaukee Night Market will return to downtown Milwaukee this summer for a full season for the first time since 2019.

The Westown Association announced more than 100 local vendors will participate in the free outdoor festival including a variety of artists, restaurateurs, farmers and crafters.

The 2022 markets will be held from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on June 15, July 13, Aug. 17 and Sept. 21 West Wisconsin Avenue between 2nd Street and Vel R. Phillips Avenue.

“We were thrilled to have over 300 local small businesses apply to vend at the 2022 Markets from which our team has curated an exciting list of vendors that represent that diversity of our city,” said Stacie Callies, executive director of Westown Association.

One Night Market was held last summer.

Legacy vendors including Meat on the Street, Happy Dough Lucky, James Steeno Gallery and LIT MKE, as well as entrepreneurs making their Night Market debuts including Clover Milwaukee, Nate Vomhof Media Co and Peanut and Butter Jelly Deli will all return.

American Family Insurance returns for the second year, sponsoring the vendors fees for 10 entrepreneurs at each of the four markets.

The 10 sponsored vendors are Baked Dream Creations, Blossom Candle, Chase My Creations, Dougie’s Delights, Harmony By Design, Outwoken Tea, Spicy Freza Apparel, T for Textile and Tostada by Maranta.
