Monroe Street is the Place to Be

Experience the magic of Monroe Street on the first Friday evening of each month. The participating boutique shops and retail stores will be open late so you can enjoy all that our unique slice of Madison has to offer. And don't forget to plan on dinner and drinks in our many locally owned restaurants. From shopping pop-ups to ice cream and free outdoor movies, there’s a little something for everyone.

 Because each First Friday will feature different experiences, check back to see the participating businesses, entertainment, and more!
