After last weekend’s disappointing cold spell which found thousands of grads shivering in the cold and the tragic loss of vineyard harvest, Madison is more than ready to enjoy the gorgeous weekend. The Terrace is open, so it is completely understandable if you choose to forgo other options and just soak in the sun and suds at the nation’s best beer garden, but if you’re looking for a little variety try one of these fun events on for size.
