The Madison Public Market Foundation will host a Ready! Set! Market! event to offer a taste of what the Madison Public Market will be!
This open house will feature a mix of local vendors, including exciting newer businesses and a few of Madison’s long-time favorites. The event will take place at the future home of the Madison Public Market and TruStage MarketReady Hall (200 N. First Street) in what was formerly the retro-style Fleet Services Building.
Vendors will have available culinary offerings inspired by a variety of cultures, in addition to unique handmade goods. Please join leaders of the Madison Public Market Foundation, City of Madison, and diverse vendors for a celebration of entrepreneurship, equity, and community.
Ready! Set! Market! Open House
Tuesday, Sept. 12
5 – 8pm
Future home of the Madison Public Market and TruStage MarketReady Hall (200 N. First St. at E. Johnson & N. First)
Parking is available in the back of the building, in the nearby The Standard Madison apartment building, or on neighborhood streets.
This will be the only public event held at the Market’s future home before ground-breaking later this year! A big thank you to our friends at Chocolate Shoppe, who will be giving away free scoops of ice cream!
RSVP is appreciated but not mandatory – it will help get you through event check-in much more quickly.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We’re looking for volunteers to help with sign-in of guests, pre-event setup, trash collection, greeters, traffic control, and a few other areas. It’s a fun way to meet other Market enthusiasts and show your support. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity for the Madison Public Market, sign up now!
