Our largest events include Madison River Jam (formerly RiverRoots), Madison Regatta, Madison Ribberfest BBQ & Blues, Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art, Soup, Stew, Chili & Brew Festival, Nights Before Christmas Candlelight Tour of Homes, and Wonderland in the Park.

Madison Halloween Festival
October 31 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
The City of Madison will host a ‘Halloween Festival’ on Saturday, Halloween day, from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Families and children are encouraged to dress up in costumes and head to Main Street where the festival will be held.
There will be a petting zoo with over 20 animals, a juggler entertaining the crowd, a canine costume contest, vendors, candy and more! Judging for both costume contests will begin at 11:30 a.m. in front of City Hall.
Main Street will be closed between Broadway and Mulberry Streets from 8:00a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Red, White, and Boo! will be replaced this year by the city Halloween Festival. In case of inclement weather, the festival will be moved to the Brown Gym.
