After years of skyrocketing arrest numbers and city and community frustration, the Mifflin Street Block Party is taking the first steps toward an overhaul.
According to Joel Plant, aide to Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, Madison officials have been meeting with the owners of the Majestic after they raised the possibility of the local music venue sponsoring the event.
Although planning is still in preliminary stages, the event would become a live music event, with two stages alternating music throughout the day and culminating with a nationally recognized headliner.
