Annual Events in Madison, WI

Visiting and living in Madison, WI is great. There are lots of things to do, all year round. Because we experience different weather in all four seasons, we get a huge variety in the kinds of annual events that happen. For example, Concerts on the Square takes place on the Capitol Square for only 6 weeks, so people look forward to that all year so they can picnic on the Capitol lawn, listening to great, classical music.
