The South Milwaukee Downtown Market is partnering with South Shore Family Chiropractic to host the “10 Steps to Wellness” Health Fair on Thursday, September 15, at the market.
The free event is scheduled for 3 to 7 p.m. – the regular hours of the market – and will feature a variety of local health care providers providing wellness information, demonstrations and other services.
These vendors will be in addition to the dozens of produce, organics, baked goods, prepared food, arts and crafts and other vendors who call the market at 11th and Milwaukee Avenue in South Milwaukee home every week.

- Release your inner healing power
- Have fun
- You are what you eat
- Managing stress
- Exercise
- Sleep
- Dangers of prescription and over-the-counter drugs
- Control your habits … control your life
- Faith – higher purpose
- A new beginning … one step at a time

About the South Milwaukee Downtown Market
Area residents looking for a unique shopping experience travel to downtown South Milwaukee, where they find an eclectic mix of merchants selling fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, flowers, art, jewelry and other local goods. They also find a sampling of area restaurants, live entertainment and special events as part of what is a true destination for families, foodies and everyone in between. It’s a simple yet ambitious vision – one that the South Milwaukee Downtown Market has achieved ever since it launched in July of 2009. Located on 11th and Milwaukee Avenues near the heart of the South Milwaukee city center, the Downtown Market has grown to become one of the largest in the area with more than 60 regular vendors and hundreds of regular customers. It is operated by a committee of local residents, business owners and city and civic leaders that all have the same goal in mind: find new ways to breathe new life and instill new energy in downtown South Milwaukee.
