The annual countercultural bacchanalia returns, closing another Madison summer with programming from three Madison cultural institutions. This year organizers at Commonwealth Development tapped the Wisconsin Union, WORT-FM and Tone Madison to fill three stages with talent from around the world and right here. One act not to miss is Milwaukee’s own The Grovelers (pictured). Blending alt-rock, punk and some twang on songs like “Sicko,” the four-piece’s music is a refreshing blend of rock styles. Some local acts to catch include Saint Saunter, His & Her Vanities and Gender Confetti. The annual parade with Bubble Car, circus performers and fiddle brigade commences at 11 am Sunday at Plan B. Right on!
