We had a meeting of the South Milwaukee Downtown Market Committee tonight, and I thought now is as good a time as any to update my blog readers as to what’s happening with the event.
And it’s a lot.
We return for our third season on June 2 and continue for 20 weeks through October 13. Hours are 3 to 7 p.m. every Thursday, and we’re located on 11th Avenue south of Milwaukee Avenue (south of Bucyrus International).
Learn more in this press release and on our website.
Among the upgrades you’ll see for 2011: a jazz-inspired five-concert series presented by the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center and construction of a new stage by a local Eagle Scout.
Of course, we’ll also return a strong stable of vendors and be adding some exciting new ones. More than 20 have already signed up for the whole season, and we’re expecting more than 40 every week, selling produce, organics, arts, crafts and prepared food. We’ll also have weekly live music.
I hope you are as excited as I am for the market, and I’ll keep you posted as it gets closer. In the meantime, be sure to join us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. And if you know someone who might be interested in joining us as a vendor, they can access everything they need to know at http://www.smdowntownmarket.org. The deadline to get our full-season discount is May 1.
See you June 2!
