Hear that sound, Madison? It’s Festival Foods’ one-of-a-kind Independence Day celebration returning to Breese Stevens on Saturday, July 1. Read: Spend Saturday night living it up with live music, bites and sips, and, of course, fireworks.

This year’s entertainment lineup includes:

  • 2022 headliner Uncommon Denominator
  • Dumate
  • LINE
  • Jean Le Duke on the 1’s and 2’s.

The cherry on top of the festival? A fireworks show for the books that will launch directly from inside the stadium.

Fun fact: You can see fireworks anywhere in Madison, but the best views are actually from inside the stadium.
