One of the best things about Summer in Madison. The people watching is great. The conversations that go around are fun. Oh, and the music is wonderful each time.
I prefer to bring my chair and sit in the street or sidewalk. But the blanket folks have a great time too. Me and my friends usually find some good food items and enjoy trying new wines as we listen to the music program.
There are great vendors available if you don't bring your own dinner. There are sandwiches, salads, Pad Thai and curry, BBQ, popcorn and the famous Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream.
