Prism Festival
Alec Basse
Post Animal
Inspired by Justin Vernon’s Eaux Claires, a group of Madison creatives in 2017 launched this two-day showcase featuring many of the best bands in Madison (and the Midwest). The lineup includes Chicago’s Post Animal, Milwaukee’s GGOOLLDD plus Madison favorites like Trapo, The Hussy, Proud Parents, Disq, Slow Pulp, Lucien Parker and DJay Mando. With two stages, immersive art and camping, this will be a truly sick weekend.
press release: The second annual Prism Festival is a homegrown celebration of Wisconsin’s finest music, art, and natural bounty. Over the course of two days - summer’s last and autumn’s first - you are invited to explore 200 acres of southern Wisconsin woodland, dance under an equinox moon, and bask in the great glow of Midwestern creative spirit.
In addition to a genre-spanning musical lineup, there will be original art installations placed across Common Gardens for you to discover. As our name suggests, this festival aims to refract, illuminate, reveal. We hope that you will take paths less traveled. Lose yourself in the trees. Learn something new about the folks who came with you. Food trucks and craft beer will keep you strong.
Shuttle services to and from Madison will run throughout each day, but field camping is available and encouraged; Prism is best enjoyed as complete immersion. For more information, please visit www.prism-festival.com.
