Things To Do
Saturday Morning Farmers' Market
Going to the Farmers' Market is one of our favorite traditions. Snack on some cheese curds and maple candy as you walk around Capitol Square--bonus points if you stop at a food cart for a smoothie!

The terrace is fun at all times of day. You can grab some ice cream and admire the views. Or you can brave the crowds at sunset and claim a spot to share a pitcher and some cheese curds with friends and family.
Feeling Active?
