Summer in Madison means that everyone has to make at least one pilgrimage to the Union Terrace to enjoy the sun-dappled waves of Lake Mendota, the company of friends and the joys of hearing live music without a roof over your head.
Get started early with the second annual TerraceFest, running from noon to midnight Saturday on the terrace at the Memorial Union, 800 Langdon St. The all-day event is free, mixing live music with street performers and other fun events.
