The end of summer may be near, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop.
The King Street Block Party, to be held Saturday, Aug. 29, could be the answer to prolonging some of that last-minute, coveted summertime fun.
A Madison favorite according to the Isthmus, the block party will be held near campus on the 100 block of King Street [the opposite end of the Capitol from State Street]. Beginning at 3 p.m. and lasting until midnight, there will be ample time to enjoy the festivities.
Ancora Coffee will offer some of its celebrated coffee drinks while Madison-area DJ Nick Nice will feature some of his best music.
Around 7 p.m. the Taste of King Street will take place, highlighting some of the best Capitol-area food on the Square. Tutto Pasta, Madison's Restaurant, Opus Lounge, Woof's, Café Continental, Kushi Bar Muramoto and The Local Tavern will all be participants.
Also at the party will be alternative country group, The Blueheels, as well as 1970s cover band, VO5, complete with original costumes and a light show.
For those who prefer to drive, street parking will be available and parking ramps will also be open.
