Rebulú

This early entrant in the festival season is also one of a handful of summer celebrations that in recent years have found a new home on the north side. Festy fun includes local food and other vendors, beverages coordinated by the Madison Homebrewers and Tasters Guild, art activities and a raffle. The eclectic music lineup opens with string band Annie & the Oakies and closes with a rare Madison appearance by Neenah R&B big band Stephen Cooper & the Nobody Famous featuring Katrina deVille; the day also includes Cuban sounds from Rebulú, groove-centric pop by Smart Cookie, and visiting jazz jammers Dirk Quinn Band. Hosted by WORT-FM, it’s a fundraiser for the community radio station.
