The Westown Association recently ended another successful run of its farmer’s market in Zeidler Union Square. Beginning today it brings the goods indoors to the first level of the Shops of Grand Avenue, 275 W. Wisconsin Ave., directly across the street from Zeidler Union Square.
The first annual Westown Indoor Market will be a shot in the arm for the Dowtown mall and continues on the first and third Wednesdays every month until Feb. 18. The market is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Westown Indoor Market will be very similar to the outdoor market, complete with music, vendors and a calendar of fun events.
Milwaukee harmonica player Steve Cohen is scheduled to perform opening day beginning at 11:30 a.m. with Irish songman, Ian Gould, performing Nov. 19. The Indoor Market music stage is located on the west end of the first level, just outside the Boston Store entrance in the shopping center.
