A sense of community and unique atmosphere are two things that the market aims to deliver, according to Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Assocation. She noted in a Monday, June 24 press release, "We are so excited to welcome thousands of locals and visitors alike to experience the unique environment and special community that the Night Market creates on West Wisconsin Ave."
