ABOUT
During Concerts on the Square, the Capitol lawn is taken over by picnicking Madisonians, serenaded by the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra. It was founded in 1984, and now, more than 200,000 patrons come together annually over the free six-concert series.

HOW TO FIND US
If you walk to Candinas Chocolatier, and then cross the street to the Capitol lawn, you should run right into us (see map image below 🤓 the "Attendees" section).
SCHEDULE
The music starts at 7pm; we'll be there at 6:30pm, so come find us anytime after then!
While the concert goes until 9pm, it's very much a come-and-go affair; feel free to leave early or arrive late.
TRANSPORTATION
Downtown is packed during concerts on the square, so street parking will be difficult to find.
Nearby garages include:
- Capitol Square South Parking Ramp
- 25 West Main Underground Parking
- Wilson Street Garage
- Block 89 Parking Ramp
- 114 E Main St Parking Ramp
Busses that stop near where we'll set up shop: #1, #2, #4, #5, #6, #11, #12, #14, #15, #19, #27, #28, #37, #38, #47, #57, #58, #70, #71, #72
ACCESSIBILITY / INCLUSION
All genders and children are welcome at this event. Seating is on blankets on the grass, but folks are welcome to bring short lawn chairs: "Only low-height chairs (6" or less) with tubular, U-shaped legs may be used on the Capitol lawn."
If you have a specific accessibility concern, we encourage you to reach out directly at admin@madisonwomen.tech.
CODE OF CONDUCT
While this event is open to all genders, Madison Women in Tech deliberately curates spaces for and by women and nonbinary folks. Men who attend are expected to listen, and not center themselves or their experiences.
All attendees agree to adhere to the Madison Women in Tech code of conduct: http://coc.madisonwomen.tech
