Tonight’s installment of the Milwaukee Night Market has been canceled due to a severe weather forecast. Westown Association, which produces the downtown Night Market, has reserved Wednesday, October 1 as a make-up date.
“After carefully monitoring the forecast over the last 24 hours, we have ultimately made the decision to cancel tonight’s Market,” says Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Association in a press release. “The safety of our vendors, performers, attendees and staff is our main priority, and unfortunately the severe weather forecast poses challenging conditions for an outdoor event. Although we are disappointed to not move forward with tonight’s Market, we know our loyal Market-goers will show up for a special night in October.”
There are two more previously scheduled Markets: August 13 and September 10. More info on the October make-up date will be released in the coming weeks.
“We understand that this cancelation greatly impacts the vendors who have spent their time and resources preparing for tonight’s event and were counting on sales from the thousands of attendees expected to attend the Market. We encourage the Milwaukee community to support these vendors in other ways today by visiting their online or brick-and-mortar storefronts,” says Megan Kujawa, Marketing & Events Director for Westown Association, in the release.
