Yes, there is a September Art Jam–today, fourth Friday, 5-9 pm, free trolley from 6-9. Come downtown & check out everything that’s happening!
This evening at the Art Jam, there will be art & music on the streets, open stores, art in galleries and on the walls all over downtown. Many stores & galleries will be serving refreshments. And there are free trolley rides, sponsored by the Riverboat Inn, from 6-9 pm.
Old Court Days starts today, and Chautauqua begins tomorrow. Come downtown–Madison looks beautiful, and the weather’s going to be perfect.
Don’t forget there’s Music in the Park–special Chautauqua edition–Saturday evening from 7-9 at the Broadway Fountain. Everyone loves The Doctors Band!
The next Art Jam is October 24 & yes, we will have a Halloween theme (optional of course).
Then in November & December, we’ll be moving Art Jam to the second Fridays–because Thanksgiving and Christmas already have the fourth weekends locked up.
See you downtown!
