Floor Plan and Interior Amenities

The design of the Market intentionally works to create natural opportunities for people to gather and connect while offering an inclusive space that attracts visitors from all backgrounds. The key areas of our Public Market include:

Market Hall: The marquee feature of the Market, is this large, central space that will house 28+ permanent market merchant booths plus space for temporary vendors. The variety of booth sizes and permanent/seasonal vending options offer opportunities for local businesses both big and small to call the Market home.

TruStage MarketReady Hall: Unique to our Market, TruStage MarketReady Hall will provide an event and temporary vending space for winter farmer’s markets, live music, pop-up craft fairs and many other events. It will be available for weddings, conferences, and family gatherings, accommodating seating for 300 people. There will always be something new to experience at the Market!

Market Kitchen: The Market will offer a commercial kitchen for our merchants to have a shared food prep area and the opportunity to cater events with the Market as a base of operations. Access to full kitchen will be available for private rentals of the TruStage MarketReady Hall for event caterers.

Merchants will have access to a fully licensed shared-use commercial kitchen and food processing facility will help lower costs and allow for a faster ramp up for growth.

Art spaces: The Madison Public Market Foundation is creating multiple art spaces within and around the Market to focus on local food history and to highlight the traditions of local cultures. These vibrant, colorful and educational art expressions are being conducted through collaboration with The City of Madison’s Madison Arts Commission.

Second Floor Mezzanine: Upstairs and overlooking the bustling Market Hall, visitors can enjoy the Market Mezzanine. This ADA accessible second floor level will offer a commanding view of the Market, plenty of seating, the children’s area, a community meeting space, a small kitchenette to support meetings, bathrooms, and importantly, office space for the Madison Public Market Foundation.

“Madison needs this Public Market. It’s an important opportunity for our children of color to have a place where they can go and see many other people of color owning businesses and finding success in our city. I’m excited to welcome our kids to the Market where we can teach them about business ownership. The Public Market is a place we’ll all be proud of.” - Judy Cooper, owner of QB's Magnetic Creations, a MarketReady participant
