Happy homecoming Madison, let’s celebrate with some of this weekend’s entertainment.
If you want to be a Badger
Check out the Madison Homecoming Parade Friday with student floats, the UW Marching Band, Bucky Badger, classic cars and more. It takes place on State Street. There will also be a Badger Bash before kickoff Saturday where the band, cheer squad and dance teams will get people ready for the Homecoming Game against Purdue.
Keep it reel
The Marquee is featuring Amy Schumer in “Trainwreck” this weekend. The theater will also be showing fan favorites including the original “Hairspray,” “When Marine Was There” and “Lost Highway.” Admission is free for these fun flicks.
Feel like a free concert?
The Unions will be featuring The Northern Hooks and Hemispheres with Clear Pioneer and Circus Fires. There will also be the Behind the Beat Jazz Series Friday in Der Rathskeller.
Art swap
Wheelhouse Studios is hosting an art supplies swap where people can exchange old, unused tools for “new” creative materials. The swap will take place Friday and Saturday in Union South.
Poetry slam
Sit back and listen to some Urban Spoken Word and slam poetry hosted by David Hart at Genna’s Lounge on Main Street near the Capitol.
Check The Daily Cardinal each Thursday to find out what to do for entertainment in Madison each weekend. Hint: We like things that are free.
