Madison Night Market
Event Overview
The pulse of downtown Madison returns with the Madison Night Market on October 15, from 5-9 p.m. Taking over N. Carroll and W. Mifflin Streets on Capitol Square, State Street and Gilman Street, this year’s series promises a bigger, bolder celebration of the city’s urban culture. The Madison Night Market brings together iconic brick-and-mortar storefronts and the region’s top makers, from State Street retailers to visiting food carts, pop-up restaurants and live music – it’s a one-of-a-kind urban street festival.
