Welcome to the South Milwaukee Downtown Market!

The South Milwaukee Downtown Market is committed to working in partnership with our vendors to ensure a successful event … and the following rules will ensure a better market for everybody. If you have any questions about any of these regulations, please contact Market Chairman Bob Pfeifer at (414) 768-8195 or by email at Bob.Pfeiffer@mcfls.org.

• All vendors are subject to approval the South Milwaukee Downtown Market Committee.

• Applications are due by noon on Tuesday of that week’s market. No exceptions.

• The market is held rain or shine. 

• There are no vendor fee refunds.

• All produce vendors must have their own farm, garden plot or other growing area.

• While the South Milwaukee Downtown Market strongly encourages all produce sold to be locally grown, a limited amount of reselling may be allowed out of season. The origin of these items must be clearly marked with signage.

• No generators are allowed. If you would like electricity, please contact market officials.

If you can not attend a particular market, you must inform South Milwaukee Downtown Market personnel of this by 10 a.m. on the day of the market. Failure to do so more than three times will result in dismissal from the market and forfeiture of all fees.
