Revelers at a past SummerPalooza event.

School’s out, summer’s in, and the Madison Children’s Museum is throwing one giant welcome party for the season. SummerPalooza is a party just for kids, packed with performances of all types and hands-on activities, as well as free museum admission all day. Kick off the fun with Black Star Drum Line and a parade at 9:30 a.m., then wander through hands-on art stations, rooftop bubbles with Marvelous Michelle, music by Mister Jim, a kids' drum circle, and more. It will be loud, joyful, and everything summer should be for kids.

media release: It’s an all-day bonanza of free summer fun at MCM! Celebrate the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation with Madison Children’s Museum’s annual SummerPalooza celebration. Enjoy free museum admission all day, with kid-centric sidewalk parade and performances from Black Star Drum Line, Elmore Lawson, Madison Circus Space kid performers, Marvelous Michelle, Mister Jim, and more local artists.
