01 · THE STORY
The square takes on a different rhythm after dark.
Hosted by Baraboo Young Professionals, the Night Market brings dozens of vendors into the heart of downtown for a free, family-friendly evening. Handmade art, craft vendors, food, drinks, and live entertainment turn a familiar city block into a place made for discovery.
The official listing describes the night as a showcase of the Baraboo area, mixing open-air art and craft vendors with experiences, food trucks, a beer garden, and live music. Its larger purpose is just as important as the entertainment: strengthening downtown night culture through a safe, interactive gathering that families can enjoy without an admission charge.
A downtown evening built around the people, flavors, and creative work that make Baraboo feel like home.
02 · WHAT TO EXPECT
Take an unhurried lap around the vendor tents, meet the makers behind the work, and choose dinner from local food vendors before Swing Crew takes the evening into live music. The beer garden offers a place to pause with friends, while the open-air layout keeps the night easy to explore.
