WAM: October 3, 2026
Schumacher Farm
The Waunakee Artisan Market (WAM) returns to the historic Schumacher Farm on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for a full day of art, music, food, and drinks. Now in its 6th year, WAM brings together over 50 juried artists in a highly curated showcase — true to our mission of being a market "for artists, by artists."
Curious who you might see? Take a look at our Creative Directory— it includes many WAM artists.
Tickets are $5 at the gate or online, with free parking in the upper lot off hwy 113/19 . Bring the whole day: browse original work from regional artists, catch live music all day — Mark Juris, Bill Conway, Adam Karl's bluegrass band, saxophonist Luis Sax, a strolling set from Mariachi Corcel de Madison, and a closing jam session to send everyone off. Lone Girl Brewing Co. will be pouring, so grab a beer, check out the food carts and celebrate while you shop local and regional creatives.
See you at the farm!
