Monona Terrace is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and Dane Dances has been throwing its community dance party for nearly as long. This year's top-flight lineup has been derailed by forecasts of rain the last two weeks. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for the final date, featuring Sounds of Slave and Sisters of Element & the Storm Chaser Orchestra, on Aug. 26. Food and drink will be available at 5 p.m. from Kipp's Kitchen, Lake Vista Cafe, La Taguara and Lemongrass, and music starts at 5:30 p.m. If it's rainy, call 608-261-4094 for location (or cancellation) information.

With Sisters of Element & the Storm Chaser Orchestra with T.L. Williams 6 pm, Sounds of Slave 8 pm.
