DOWNTOWN MADISON

the Welcome Station - generally located near Main Street Cafe. Participants then visit all the Shoppes and pick up Easter eggs with goodies inside. And then upon returning to the Welcome station, parents can be entered into a Grand Prize drawing for a collaborative basket from the Shoppes owners. This is also a great time to support downtown businesses and learn more about what they have to offer and shop for spring. In the past the Easter bunny also made a guest appearance for free pics, so they are hoping for a return this year!

May - August: Third Thursdays - Shoppes launched this in 2022. While there will be some revamping this year to improve the experience, the main highlights will continue. Every Third Thursday from May to August, businesses will remain open later (8:00ish) for evening shopping, and some of the local favorite food trucks will be coming in for all to enjoy as well as Main Street Cafe and Old Black Bear. Fingers are also crossed during this time that Humphrey Bros. Cigar Lounge will also be opening.

October - Scare on Main: This will be a new event and the planning is still in the process but definitely mark your calendars. This will be a fun event for everyone. Events will include a variety of events for children as well as fun for adults too. With the addition of Humphrey Bros. Cigar Bar and Lanier House Tea Room, downtown Madi- son soon hopes to become an entertainment district.

December - Wassail Fest: This year will be the third year of this fun-filled event. Wassail Fest is the brainchild of Tammy Hall with Main Street Cafe. This is a fun event for everyone as it works in unison with the Polar Express tree lighting event. Plan to make a full evening of this event to come downtown, enjoy the variety of Christmas trees decorated by various Madison businesses and then visit the historic downtown businesses and sample their Wassail. Pick up a voting card to fill out and return to be entered into a Grand Prize drawing.

Also in December - Christmas on Main: This will be the second new event hosted by Shoppes of Historic Downtown Madison in 2023. As a new event, this event is still in the planning phase but hopes to include Santa pics, a variety of kid events hosted throughout downtown. This event will potentially coincide with Christmas Capers which has historically been a fun day downtown where the Anderson brothers toss rubber chickens with prize vouchers attached for everyone.

So as we cherish the past in downtown Madison, the Shoppes of Historic Downtown Madison continues to bring more events and activities to downtown for all residents. Make sure you follow Shoppes on both Instagram or Facebook @shoppes_of_downtown_madison.
