608 Day (6/08) is this Saturday. We want to mark the occasion by shouting out some of the very best things about the 608, and who better to canvas than our readers?

We invite you to use this survey to share your favorite aspects of the Madison area (our favorite part of the 608).

Whether it’s a beloved restaurant, a unique civic design, or a person who brings your neighborhood to life, we want to hear about it. Your response might be featured in an upcoming newsletter.

To celebrate the 608 in person, check out Hilldale’s 608 Day celebration. Taking place all day on Saturday, June 8, activities include:

  • Live music
  • Free cotton candy from Lily’s Magical Treats
  • Yard games
  • Shopping specials and community give-backs
