This weekend, Madison decided to host TWO festivals at once. Bold move. We respect it.
Old Court Days kicks off Friday at 11 AM (runs through Sunday), and Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art® - Madison, IN takes over Saturday & Sunday, 10-5. Crafts, antiques, food, live music, and more handmade candles than you can physically carry. Over 215 artisans. Ten blocks. Good luck pacing yourself.
And here's the plot twist: Grand Lodge Market is sitting RIGHT in the middle of both festivals. So when your legs give out and your shopping bag count hits double digits, you can just... stumble inside. It's basically a festival intermission with better lighting.
Three days. Two festivals. One very tired wallet.
Bring comfortable shoes. Bring a tote bag. Bring your credit card and zero self-control.
See you there. 👋
