Things To Do
Badger Game Day
This is opening weekend for the Wisconsin Badgers! They play the Buffalo Bulls on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium. Even if you don’t attend the game, the college tailgating is a sight to see. Saturday, Sept. 2, 2:30 pm
Dane County Farmer’s Market (Breese Stevens Field)
Every summer Saturday, farmers take over the Wisconsin State Capitol grounds for the Dane County Farmer’s Market. Since this weekend is also Taste of Madison, the farmer's market moves to Breese Stevens Field. If you go, Stella’s Spicy Cheese Bread is a must! Saturday, Sept. 2, 6:15 am - 1:45 pm

This is an annual Madison fundraising event featuring food and beverage vendors from the area as well as live music and entertainment. Sunday, Sept. 3, 2:30 - 8:30 pm Monday, Sept. 4, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm
Biking!
Madison is continually ranked as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the US. You can rent bikes in town and use them to see more of the city or head to the lake and ride on the beautiful Lakeshore Path (https://lakeshorepreserve.wisc.edu/visit/places/the-lakeshore-path/). There is also a guided eBike tour of downtown Madison that happens twice daily (https://www.visitmadison.com/event/guided-ebike-tour-of-downtown-madison/60674/).
Wollersheim Winery & Distillery
If you've got a car and some time to kill, head out to the award-winning Wollersheim winery, distillery, and bistro (about 40 minutes from Madison). Enjoy a glass of wine or brandy (you're in Wisconsin, after all!) out on their patio overlooking the beautiful vineyard.
