Capitol Square
As the hub of downtown Madison, the streets that branch out from Capitol Square are lined with shops, restaurants, and cafés, which means a latte or artsy souvenir is easily within reach. One of those streets—bustling State Street—bridges Capitol Square with the University of Wisconsin–Madison's campus. The Wednesday-night Concerts on the Square series, hosted by Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra throughout June and July, attracts thousands of people. At the Dane County Farmers' Market, on Saturday morning from May through October, you can sample local farm-fresh cheeses, meats, vegetables, and fruits.
