The mission of the Madison Street Festival is to provide a day of family entertainment that unites the community as they enjoy arts and culture, interactive exhibits, and entertainment.

What started as a block party in 1980 has grown into Madison's largest and most anticipated event-the Madison Street Festival.

Traditionally held on the first Saturday of October, the festival welcomes an array of artists, craftsmen, information booths, food vendors, street performers, stage performances, and amusements each year.
