Your Insider’s Guide to September in Madison
If you’re new around here, welcome! We’ve put together a starter pack for you, with episodes and articles to welcome you to the City Cast Madison community.
September is a lively month in Madison. It’s the start of UW-Madison’s fall semester. And for this college town, that means that the campus returns to life and Badger football season is here! So expect more bright sounds from marching bands and Badger tailgates. Plus, you can find more fun outside at the Ironman Wisconsin race and Madison’s longest-running neighborhood gathering, the Willy Street Fair. The City Cast team of Bianca Martin, Hayley Sperling, and Ava Wojnowski talk about it all and offer tips for living your best life here in September.
