About
The aroma of fresh produce and artisan cheese greets you at the Milwaukee Public Market, a bustling indoor market in the Historic Third Ward. This market brings together 20 independent, locally-owned vendors offering everything from wine and local cheese to fresh fish and ethnic prepared foods. It's a great spot for a daytime outing, whether you're shopping for gifts or grabbing a bite in the second-floor Palm Garden. Cooking classes are available in the Madame Kuony Demonstration Kitchen, led by local chefs and cookbook authors.
The market is open daily, with Sunday hours ending at 6pm. Free one-hour parking with validation is available in the Water Street lot. If you're exploring the neighborhood, you might also stop by Sparrow Collective , a nearby shop for unique finds. The market's lively atmosphere makes it a regular after-work stop for locals, though it stays busy throughout the day.
