About US

Located at the corner of First and East Johnson Streets, the Madison Public Market is a vibrant, year-round community hub celebrating regional food, art, and culture. A partnership between the City of Madison and the Madison Public Market Foundation, this project transforms a former municipal building into an inclusive marketplace anchored by 28 permanent merchants. Beyond these full-time shops, the market empowers startup entrepreneurs and minority-owned businesses by offering flexible temporary vending spaces and rotating pop-up markets. Visitors can explore a bustling Main Hall filled with diverse prepared foods and handcrafted retail, alongside a dedicated event space for community gatherings.
