West Side Market Tour & WSM Panel at Market Garden Brewery
Wednesday, June 18 2025 | 4:00 – 7:00pm
Join us for a special evening at the West Side Market!
We’ll begin at 4 PM in Market Square Park, on the corner of W. 25th Street and Lorain Avenue, with a guided tour led by Dame Susan Chapo of Relish Cleveland Tours. Enjoy tastings from a few favorite market vendors along the way.
At 5 PM, we’ll head next door to Market Garden Brewery for a casual panel discussion with Rosemary Mudry and Camille Rose Dickson from West Side Market Management. Gather with the Dames for great conversation, along with food and drinks available for purchase at the brewpub. If you can’t make the tour, please feel free to join us at MGB!
Friends and family are welcome—just be sure to include them in your RSVP so we can plan accordingly for tastings and our reservation at MGB.
Hope to see you there!
