Some of the brightest nights of the Great Milwaukee Summer are back, as Night Market today announced its official dates for 2024.
Hosted as always on West Wisconsin Avenue between 2nd Street and Vel R. Phillips Avenue, the 2024 edition of Milwaukee Night Market will hit the streets on four Wednesdays scattered throughout the summer: June 26, July 24, Aug. 14 and Sept. 11. Each night – filled with local vendors, businesses, entertainment, food, drink and more under the Brew City sky – will run from 5-10 p.m.
“This summer is expected to be Milwaukee’s busiest summer yet, and we are so happy to have the Night Market’s tenth anniversary be part of the excitement,” said Stacie Callies, executive director of Westown Association, in a press release. “Each year, the event continues to grow; from attendance records, vendor diversity and engagement with our community stakeholders, we are so proud to host the Night Market in the heart of the Westown neighborhood. We can’t wait to see the thousands of Milwaukeeans and visitors on West Wisconsin Avenue on opening night on June 26."
“We are proud to play a leading role in this vibrant tenth anniversary celebration of entrepreneurs, the Milwaukee Night Market. Small businesses are the heart of our community and powering the passion and purpose of local businesses is core to our company,” said Bob Hau, chief financial officer for Fiserv, the Night Market's presenting sponsor since 2023, in the release. "As Fiserv celebrates four decades of roots as Milwaukee’s hometown payments company this year, we are thrilled to move into our new global headquarters next month, where we will punctuate the west end of the Night Market and we look forward to the positive impact we’ll create through Clover from Fiserv with this – and many more – iconic Milwaukee experiences."
For those who would like to join the almost 200 vendors and small businesses showcased at Night Market's events throughout the summer, applications are currently open and available at Milwaukee Night Market's website. The deadline is Friday, March 15, with accepted vendors and businesses notified in April.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
