2024 Madison Night Market Expands to Capitol Square

Madison’s Central Business Improvement District (BID) is excited to announce the expansion of the Madison Night Market onto Capitol Square for the 2024 season. This year’s market dates are May 9, June 13, August 8, September 12, and October 17, from 5-9 p.m. For the first time, the market is expanding to N. Carroll and W. Mifflin Streets on Capitol Square, in addition to State Street and Gilman Street, welcoming more local artisans and food vendors as the demand for spaces continues to grow.

According to Placer.ai, last year’s market series attracted a combined total of 69,500 people to State Street. The energy and vibrancy of the Madison Night Market continues to grow, and the BID is excited to welcome the entire community to kick off the summer events season in the heart of downtown on Thursday, May 9.

Madison is famous for great shopping, amazing food and a talented arts scene, and the Madison Night Market brings our urban experience together in celebration. Vendors mix with existing State Street retailers to showcase handmade products, local art, artisan gifts, artisanal foods, and fresh produce. The event includes live music, special visiting food carts, and pop-up restaurant experiences.

“We can’t wait to bring the entire community back downtown for the Madison Night Market,” commented Matt Tramel, Executive Director of the Madison Central Business Improvement District (BID). “We’re excited to showcase some new food vendors and local artisans – along with community favorites – and we’re building a great line-up of live music and entertainment. There’s no place better than downtown Madison to shop, dine and enjoy everything that makes it such a unique and welcoming venue.”

The BID will announce a full list of vendors, musicians, and food trucks later in April.

2024 Event Details will be available in April.
