Madison Night Market

Madison’s Central Business Improvement District (BID) is excited to announce the 2025 Madison Night Market season. This year’s market dates are May 8, June 12, August 21, September 18, and October 16, from 5-9 p.m.

Madison is famous for great shopping, amazing food and a talented arts scene, and the Madison Night Market brings our urban experience together in celebration. Vendors mix with existing State Street retailers to showcase handmade products, local art, artisan gifts, artisanal foods, and fresh produce. The event includes live music, special visiting food carts, and pop-up restaurant experiences.
