MILWAUKEE — The 2020 season of the Westown Farmer's Market has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The season was initially postponed because of the coronavirus, but now officials say the cancelation was influenced by more than just the pandemic.
“Over the last few months, we have been optimistic with our plans, however, many factors out of our control have impacted our ability to host a safe and successful market in 2020,” said Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Association.
One factor that played a part in the cancelation was the lack of staffing at businesses downtown.
Even with the market canceled, the Westown Association is still encouraging Milwaukeeans to support local businesses who typically take part in the market.
