Milwaukee Night Market, presented by Clover®, returns on June 11 for 2025 season
The Milwaukee Night Market, presented by Clover®, returns to the heart of downtown Milwaukee for four nights this summer on June 11, July 16, August 13 and September 10 from 5 to 10 p.m. on West Wisconsin Avenue between 2nd Street and Vel R. Phillips Avenue. The Milwaukee Night Market is a free event that features over 100 local vendors and a variety of entertainment each night, creating an exciting fusion of all the city has to offer.
“The Night Market creates a unique environment for the community to come together and celebrate Milwaukee’s talented, local entrepreneurs and performers,” said Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Association. “Four times a year, visitors and locals alike get to experience the transformation of West Wisconsin Avenue as it goes from central business district during the day to an open-air market and dance floor at night. We can’t wait to see our thousands of loyal attendees when the season kicks off on June 11.”
Milwaukee’s hometown payments company, Fiserv, returns as the presenting sponsor of the event for the third year, showcasing Clover®, the world’s smartest point-of-sale system. In 2024, Fiserv moved their new global headquarters located on the west end of the Night Market, in the Westown neighborhood at the corner of N. Vel R. Phillips Ave. and Michigan St.
“At Fiserv, we firmly believe that when small businesses are empowered with the right tools, the right opportunities, and the right support, they have the power to move our communities forward,” said Bob Hau, Chief Financial Officer, Fiserv. “We are proud to play a leading role at this year’s Milwaukee Night Market, and to provide our support to the entrepreneurs that are core to the fabric of our community and contribute so much to our local economy.”
In 2024, the Night Market featured 245 small businesses throughout the season, including over 100 first time participants. The vendor base focuses on small businesses located in the greater Milwaukee area which provide handcrafted, handmade and artisan goods.
