Graduation, Mother’s Day, and more!
Week of May 8th
This weekend we’re celebrating three things: moms, grads, and this town we love so much.
Have you checked out our Insta yet? Connect with us at welovemadisondotcom and let’s keep the good times going all week long!
Elmo at the Overture!
 Date: Wed, May 28th | A kid disco and a chance to see Cookie Monster and Elmo do their thing live. What could be better? Sesame Street is an institution, and it’s always good to support public media (especially these days…looking at you DOGE). Tickets for Sesame Street Live are on sale now. If you want to take the whole family, we recommend you get them while you can! |
Celebrate UW TONIGHT at the Night Market!
 Date: Thurs, May 8th (TONIGHT!) | Hit the Night Market on State Street this evening for a celebration of all things UW! From vintage gear to great food, art, and crafts, there will be something for every Badgers fan at this month’s Night Market! |
See One of the Hottest Pop Acts Around!
 Date: Sat, May 10th | Magdalena Bay has been making waves across the internet, from TikTok to the press, and now they’re headed to the Sylvee for their Imaginal Mystery Tour! Their 2024 album, Imaginal Disk, was one of our strongest releases of last year in our humble opinion, and this duo is only getting better with time. Tickets are low, so get them while you can! |
Nab New Wheels for the Summer!
 Date: Sat, May 10th | Looking for a new ride this summer and like supporting a good cause? Visit Bikes for Kids Wisconsin for the largest used bikes and accessories sale in Southern Wisconsin. Whether you need a completely new ride, or just need some spare parts, there’s no better place to go for fair prices and a good time. |
New Wave at the Terrace
 Date: Sat, May 10th | The forecast is in: It’s getting wavy on Lake Mendota this weekend - New Wavy! Relive some of the best music of the 80s with The Mersey Brothers and Sean Michael Dargan, and enjoy covers of New Wave and College Rock legends like The Smiths, REM, The Cure, and more! |
Jazz Out at The North Street Cabaret
 Date: Sun, May 11th | If you like jazz, and you love your mom, take her to the North Street Cabaret this Sunday to celebrate! Whether you want to join the jazz jam, or just have a drink to some nice tunes, all are welcome. All proceeds go to the house musicians, so why not stop by and make a Mothers’ Day date of it. |
