We are only a few days away from the 2016 Halloween Weekend, and although the official holiday is on a Monday this year, many people across the country will be celebrating it a few days early.

This includes Madison, Wisconsin.

On Saturday, downtown Madison will experience their annual Freakfest Music Festival, which is the region’s largest annual Halloween party and music event that occurs on the Saturday closest to Halloween. The event takes place in the heart of Madison’s downtown area, specifically on State Street, where students and others take place in a night of dressed-up fun.

There is also another event taking place on Saturday in Madison, about one and half miles away from the beloved Freakfest event. At around 6:00 pm central time, the 11th ranked Wisconsin Badgers will host the undefeated and No. 7 ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers at Camp Randall with major championship implications on the line.

Since 2006, the Badgers are 6-2 on Halloween weekend, having had a bye week in the 2010 and 2013 seasons. Over the last decade, the Badgers have played twice on Halloween Day, winning both of those matchups at home by displaying a scary-good defense in a 37-0 victory over Purdue in 2013 and a 48-10 demolishing of Rutgers in 2015. The Badgers’ two losses came in back to back years, falling 33-29 to Ohio State on the road in 2011, followed by a heartbreaking home loss in overtime to Michigan State (16-13) in 2012.
