Orton Park Festival, August 24 - 26

Summer's almost gone, it's the last weekend of August and that means it's time for The Orton Park Festival! Celebrating it's 41st year, the festival this year features aerial dance acts by Cycropia Dance Troupe on Friday and Saturday, loads of music from the likes of:
  • Geno Delafose and French Rockin' Boogie from Eunice, Louisiana (Fri/Sun)
  • Chicago style blues from Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin and Lurrie Bell (Sat)
  • The Fareed Haque Group melding Asian harmonies and Jazz (Sun)
There's yummy food from some of Madison's favorite eateries, auctions every evening (including a Robert Crumb signed print) and tons of activities for all ages. Check out the Marquette Neighborhood Association's website for more details. See you there!
