| - What is not to love about the Madison Famers Market? Well, maybe large crowds, but, don't worry, it's worth it.
I suggest paying to park, I find the day much more enjoyable when I don't have to walk two miles before I even get to the square. Any of the structures are cheap on Saturdays. $5 for the day.
To start your day right hold off on coffee and breakfast until you get there. There are plenty of coffee venders and breakfast pastry offerings all around the market.
There is a flow to the square. Follow the flow, especially if you have a stroller. If you have a stroller, which I always do, I actually recommend that you push on the grass alongside the crowd. I then just pop over to purchase what it is I am looking for. Me and all other shoppers are happier that way!
Speaking of kids, if you have them, look for the "balloon guy" on the corner of State St. I have a love hate relationship with him. I love how Happy HJ is when she gets a balloon ballerina, but I rue the day of his birth when it inevitably pops and leaves me with a screaming child. But really, you should go see him, he's good.
Don't pass up the spicy hot cheese bread either. I've eaten a whole loaf in one sitting, no lie.
