In June there is Cows on the Concourse, a fun way of highlighting Wisconsin’s dairy industry; you can get up close and personal with dairy cows, as they’re scattered all over the Capitol area.
July’s biggie is the now-annual Rhythm and Booms choreographed fireworks display on the Fourth—it’s the largest in the Midwest and definitely a treat. Later that month, the Art Fair on the Square is a huge draw—one of the largest events in the Midwest and one of the largest juried art fairs in the country; the Dane County Fair also brings many visitors.
October brings the world’s largest dairy show, the World Dairy Expo, a big-time international event, with agriculturalists and scientists from all over the globe coming to check up on any new dairy industry progress; regular folks can get a lifetime of knowledge about dairy.
