Milwaukee Public Market

Months? Try two decades!

We had to hop on this trend as the Milwaukee Public Market is celebrating our 20 year anniversary in 2025. 🥳🎂

Did we mention we're celebrating our 20-year anniversary this year? ☕🎉

Our friends at Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. are joining in the celebration with their newest coffee: the 20th Anniversary Blend. A clean, sweet, floral roast with tasting notes of blackberry, milk chocolate, lemongrass, and just a hint of black tea and citrus on the cool down. 🌼🍫🍋 Available now through the end of the year!

Shoutout to one of our favorite baristas, Mel, for helping us model this new-brew. 💛

One sweet legacy 🍪

C. Adam’s Bakery switched ownership in 2018. Read the latest feature from Lori Fredrich at OnMilwaukee to learn how Lisa Crum, Julia Block, and Chelsea Freundorfer have built C. Adam's Bakery into a Milwaukee favorite since first opening in 2005.

A little sneak peek 👉 Swipe to the last image to see Lisa vending at the Milwaukee Public Market’s outdoor market, which operated the summer before the building officially opened. (Anyone else remember?)

Market People ⭐

Being named the Best Public Market in the country two years running is thanks to the incredible people who make this place so special. All summer, we’re spotlighting the vendors and their team members who bring our Market to life.

Starting with Noah and Johanna from Brew City Brand! 🙌 They love the genuine sense of community at the Market that has stayed consistent over their 8 years here! They’re inspired by watching their fellow vendors grow and thrive alongside them.

Stop by and say hello! 👋

Hey look, it’s Kylee and Mitchell rocking Rocky the Rooster 🐓✨

Part mascot and part Market legend, Rocky has been strutting his stuff at the Milwaukee Public Market since 2005. What started as a logo has grown into a beloved symbol of civic pride, proudly worn on totes, tees, and everything in between.

🚧 What’s that construction about at Riverwalk Park?

Big improvements are underway at 407 N. Water Street, the park across from the Milwaukee Public Market, and we’re excited to share what’s coming! Spearheaded by Business Improvement District No. 2 and made possible through a Green Infrastructure Grant from Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District - MMSD, the space is being transformed into a more sustainable and welcoming public area.

🌱 Permeable pavers
💦 Improved stormwater management
🌿 Native landscaping & trees
🪑 New seating areas for gathering

Alongside the nearby pickleball courts and free community events like the Riverwalk Commons Concert Series, these upgrades will enhance both the environment and the experience for all who visit.

More green space, more community space. Stay tuned!

Local tastes better. 🍨 Especially when it's made with rich Wisconsin cream.

In addition to their chocolates and candies, Freese's Candy Shoppe serves Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream year-round. Every scoop is ultra-creamy and flavor-packed, with at least 14% butterfat and 40% overrun. ✨ This rich content adds to the creamy, luscious texture and full-bodied taste that their super-premium ice cream is known for.

Freese’s Candy Shoppe’s newest flavor, “Me Want Cookie” is creamy, cookie-filled, and so delicious. Swing by and treat yourself to this new flavor (or one of your old favorites)!
