MADISON, Wis. — With the new city-organized “Freakfest On State Street” only days away, many Langdon Street residents said that they’re bracing for the prospect that Madison’s annual Halloween tradition might move onto their street.
To quell those concerns, University of Wisconsin and fraternity and sorority leaders said that they already have a plan in place to keep Madison’s fraternity row quiet and trouble-free this weekend.
Rumors have swirled for weeks that rogue Halloween partiers will try to move the sometimes infamous festivities to Langdon Street instead of State Street, where the city’s “Freakfest” is scheduled for Saturday, WISC-TV reported.
