Willy Street Fair
to
David Michael Miller
The official end to the busy festival season arrives with two days of magical hippie fairy dust sprinkled along several blocks of Madison’s weirdo territory, as well as a host of local, national and international acts on multiple stages. Saturday stages include World Music Festival (read more here) and Willy Street Beats, featuring Brooklyn-based deejays Mike Servito and Lauren Flax, who were molded by formative years spent in Detroit nightlife as the house and techno scene reached its apex. Sunday don’t miss the parade, which begins at 11 am from Prism; a collaborative set by The Jimmys and Cash Box Kings; kids’ music favorite Little Miss Ann; or garage pop wunderkinds Proud Parents.
