Madison Weekend Guide: Sugar Maple Music Festival
Plan Sugar Maple Music Festival, West Towne shopping and a convenient Steak Escape meal for July 31-August 1.
Sugar Maple Music Festival brings American roots music to William G. Lunney Lake Farm County Park on Friday and Saturday. The family-friendly program includes mainstage performances, workshops and jam sessions across three stages. Destination Madison lists Friday hours of 5 to 10 p.m. and Saturday hours of noon to 10 p.m.
Build an easy Madison's West Towne area plan
Steak Escape West Towne can fit before a Friday evening performance, during a Saturday shopping trip or after other Madison plans. Families can decide how much of the festival schedule to attend without leaving the meal decision until everyone is hungry.
Three details to check before you go
- Review ticket information and the festival's stage schedule.
- Prepare for a county-park setting and changing weather.
- Check West Towne restaurant and mall hours before the trip.
