Make History Madison Celebration: East Side Stories w Projections

Experience the local stories we have collected! Be part of a project celebration with good food, good people and good conversation.

We culminate the Make History Madison 2026 project with our East Side History party where we will share stories, memories, projections and the histories we have collected on this kickoff first year for Make History Madison.

Everyone is welcome! This picnic in Circle Park will include a discussion about Madison’s past, present and future, inviting you to participate or to just relax and observe.

As we wrap up the evening’s conversation and dusk sets in, we will light up the night with a projection show of people, stories and places that make Madison a local treasure.

This event is a joint program of the Madison Public Library, Whose Land, and the Make History Madison Project.
