It is with heavy hearts that Madison Festivals, Inc. (MFI), the non-profit organization that owns Taste of Madison, announces that the 2020 Taste of Madison has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision was made in accordance with the recently announced Forward Dane reopening plan for Madison and Dane County. By limiting the number of large public gatherings, we are hopeful that we can help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus in our community.

Although we cannot celebrate together in person this year, we look forward to making memories together again in 2021!

Join 250,000 of your closest friends at the largest end of the summer picnic, Taste of Madison. Held since 1983, the Taste of Madison features over 80 restaurants, 3 live entertainment stages, and 26 beverage stands! There is no admission charge for the event, that’s right, it’s free to enter - food and beverage is available for additional charge (cash only).

The Taste of Madison is owned by Madison Festivals, Inc, a registered 501c3, and the success of the event relies on the help of great volunteers. Over 25 area volunteer groups work together to make the Taste a success. Madison Festivals is honored to donate $60,000+ annually to these local non-profit and charitable organizations. When you support the Taste of Madison, you help our community thrive!

Good for you, good for Madison!
