This is your chance to see what it's like inside one of Madison's oldest business incubators while you eat, drink and shop local!
The building at Main Street Industries is home to nearly twenty local businesses on the rise in Madison, specializing in everything from cat toys to acoustic circuitry; from beer to bread; from screen printing to tattoos and so much more!
And so, Every Saturday for the next few months we will open our space to show you what we can do- participating businesses will vary from week to week but there will always be something to do!
Entry will be through Old Sugar Distillery and Giant Jones Brewing when they open- grab a drink on your way in! Doors to the hall will be open at 3pm, and participating businesses will have our sign on their doors, which will probably be open. Ask, inquire, shop, create and mosey while you wait for dinner service to start at The Deliciouser!
Who:
Attendance will vary from week to week: Everyone has a lot going on, and some of them keep different hours.
Whoever is available on a given weekend will advertise on social media the week beforehand, and they will have a Main Street Market sign on their door.
What:
Think of it kind of like an Open House. Some of these spaces will simply be open for business as usual while others will open their spaces to show what they do; some may offer tours, some will take walk-in guests, some will offer products they make for sale- all made right here in Madison!
When:
Every Saturday from 3-6pm starting January 18th, 2025! This will not necessarily be a year-round event however, as everyone starts to get extra busy, and availability will likely evaporate by April.
Check back here for updates on our schedule!
Where:
931 E Main St, in Madison, WI.
Entry will be through Old Sugar Distillery and Giant Jones, who will open their side door at 3pm to the backrooms of this historic building.
Dinner service at The Deliciouser begins at 5pm, we recommend placing a reservation as they are very popular. Old Sugar and Giant Jones also welcome delivery orders placed to their locations as an alternative.
Meet the Businesses of Main Street!
