Ginkgoa

With a seemingly endless combination of great music, an activity zone for the younger set (including a showing of the magnificent Coco on Friday at 8:30 pm) and yummy food, Fête de Marquette remains a staple of Madison midsummer. This year’s fest will feature music from more than 30 eclectic acts, from local favorites Aaron Williams & the Hoodoo and Faux Fawn to touring acts such as Anders Osborne and Givers. And some of the country’s best electronic artists will double up with sets at the Moon Stage and the High Noon Saloon. Be sure not to miss Ginkgoa, playing sets both Saturday and Sunday; this French-American electro-swing band combines a huge amount of talent with a lot of fun. Closing the fest is an American institution: legendary East L.A. rockers Los Lobos. Find the full schedule below.
