Westown Farmers Market opens for the season in downtown Milwaukee

 

A giant bowl of popcorn is just one of the delights for visitors today at the first Westown Farmers Market of the season.

Westown is one of the largest and longest-running markets in downtown Milwaukee and it's become a Wednesday afternoon fixture. 

Organizers say it's the perfect spot to grab a quick bite to eat. 

"We have such a great variety of vendors every week. We actually have 13 lunch vendors this year, which includes a variety of food trucks, downtown restaurants, food carts; we also have some great prepared food items like three bakeries, kettle corn, and then as well as Wisconsin-grown produce," said Stacie Callies.

The Westown Farmers Market runs every Wednesday at Zeidler Union Square now through October 25th from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
