Cha-what-qua?

September 3, 2013 By VisitMadison Leave a Comment

I’ve heard it pronounced in a variety of ways and trying to spell it is always interesting.  The Madison Chautauqua (shə-TAW-kwə) Festival of Art (September 28-29, 2013) is something I look forward to every year.  It’s been going on for 43 years so I guess I’m not the only one who loves this event.

Long Live the Queens

July 10, 2013 By VisitMadison Leave a Comment

There is something magic that happens on Madison’s riverfront during the summer season – the return of the Queen of the Mississippi and the American Queen.  These majestic paddlewheelers create quite the buzz when they dock on the riverfront.  You can almost picture yourself as Scarlet O’Hara flirting with a riverboat rogue as you travel … more

It’s a Bridge!

June 19, 2013 By VisitMadison Leave a Comment

Everyone is excited to see the new Milton-Madison Bridge project moving along.  Just a couple of weeks ago, the new bridge opened for traffic on temporary piers.  Even though this happened late in the evening, there was a line of cars waiting to try out the new bridge.  It’s big and wide!
