About Party in the Park 

Party in the Park is an annual music festival hosted by WSUM Madison Student Radio. It launched in 1999, three years before WSUM officially took to the airwaves, and was originally marketed as a substance-free community event meant to serve as an alternative to Mifflin Street Block Party. Now, the festival is a standalone event meant to celebrate the end of summer with the Madison community and welcome students back to the city. WSUM prides itself on breaking new bands and past lineups have featured artists like The White Stripes, Whitney, and Andrew W.K.
