Meet the Face of Makers Markets: Milwaukee Makers Market.

Milwaukee Makers Market started nine years ago in a parking lot in Bay View. What started small has since grown dramatically. Instead of a parking lot, the Milwaukee Makers Market now fills large venues, including Discovery World, The Ivy House and the Milwaukee Historical Society. And instead of only a few dozen makers, there are nearly 180 accepted small businesses. The Milwaukee Makers Market is now the largest, longest-running market in the city. “I think the biggest reason Milwaukee Makers Market has grown the way it has is because we’re genuine,” Ryan Laessig says. “We care about all our makers."
