Two Christmas Markets Planned in South Milwaukee

The South Milwaukee Downtown Market is holding a pair of indoor Christmas Markets at Caterpillar on back-to-back Saturdays in December.

The markets are planned for Dec. 3 and 10 inside Caterpillar’s Heritage Building and museum, 1970 10th Ave. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days.

The events will feature more than 40 regular market vendors – and some new faces – selling arts, crafts, organics, baked goods and other specialty items. Live Christmas music from local acts that played the summer markets is also planned.

The newly-remodeled and expanded Bucyrus History Museum, located inside the Heritage Building, will also be open during both markets, giving customers a chance to experience this one-of-a-kind South Milwaukee attraction.

“We're excited to host the Christmas Market again this year," said Luis de Leon, vice president of mining products at Caterpillar. "We are committed to the communities where we do business, and joining with our neighbors on events like this is one way to help build a better, stronger community."
