Sue Smith (A Happy Thought Indeed) and Rachaad Howard (Cream City Print Lounge) teamed up in November 2018 to create MKE Local Market. After several years of bumping into each other as vendors at vendor events we became friends after chatting about what we would like to see different at vendor shows. We both decided that we wanted to start a vendor market hosted by vendors that have been in the game for years.

​

As the organizers of the MKE Local Market we are able to invite artists and small business owners to come together to put on an amazing market letting them display their creativity with their booth spaces and products. We held our first few markets at Third Branch Creative Studio in Walker's Point and our 2021 event was held at The Gage in West Allis.

2022 is going VIRTUAL with an event on Instagram!
