Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Parade still scheduled for September 25 By Westown Association - May 10th, 2021 04:00 pm
MILWAUKEE – Westown Association has made the decision to cancel the 2021 season of the
Westown Farmers’ Market. The organization will continue to support neighborhood businesses and residents, however, challenges including the current occupancy in downtown offices and access to the park influenced the decision to cancel the event this year.
While employees are expected to return to their offices later this year, a majority of employees are still in a remote environment. As the downtown workforce is the market’s primary customer base, vendors rely on their attendance each week. Additionally, due to renovations at 231 W. Michigan St., Third Street between Michigan Street and Everett Street will be closed through summer which impacts vendor and customer accessibility to Zeidler Union Square.
