The Bodega

media release: The Bodega Series, presented by Lauer Realty Group, is returning to Madison’s Historic Breese Stevens Field for its eighth year. The nighttime, local artisan market, will be on five Fridays in 2024: April 26, May 31, June 28, July 26 and September 13, from 5-9 pm.

The Bodega was created with Wisconsin-based, small businesses in mind. The Bodega at Breese Stevens Field will again welcome over 100 local artisans and food vendors. Products vary from a myriad of crafts, handcrafted jewelry, curated boutiques, candles, soaps, plants and flowers, unique artwork, sweet treats, savory eats, and more!

In addition to the incredible local businesses, Bodega attendees can expect children's activities, yard games, and plenty of field space to soak up the beautiful summer evenings in Downtown Madison. Beer and wine will be available to sip while perusing the large array of vendors. What began as a way to engage local vendors and crafters in a sustainable community event, has blossomed into a cornerstone of summertime in Madison; a place where all are welcome to enjoy the history and atmosphere at Madison’s premier outdoor venue, Breese Stevens Field.

The Bodega is a free admission event that serves the community as a platform for small local businesses to reach shoppers in a fun, relaxing, entertaining, and safe environment. Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, or utilize the local parking garages available within mere blocks from the facility. Make sure not to forget your reusable bags and a collapsible wagon bag for all your sought after treasures!

Gates for each Bodega will open at 5:00 PM. Dates are subject to change based on weather and event conflicts, for the most up to date listing of market days, a full listing of participating vendors, and FAQ’s please visit
