  • Cut a rug! Four stages with live musical entertainment will keep you grooving.
  • Calling all car enthusiasts! The Chamber of Commerce and Madison PBA #92 will again host the annual Madison Car Show in conjunction with the festival.

And as if all of this were not enough, The Morris and Essex Kennel Club will host the Morris & Essex 2016 Match Show AND My Dog Fun Day at Dodge Field in conjunction with Bottle Hill Day.   The Kennel Club, founded in 1927 by Madison benefactor Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge, originally held shows on Dodge’s Madison estate.

Personally, my favorite part of the day is connecting with old friends at the Festival’s Beer Garden. Each year is a great time accompanied by good music, friends old and new, and plenty of Madison camaraderie.

The festival takes place rain or shine on October 1 from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
