Orton Park Festival returns for its 54th year with four days of music, food and fun in the heart of Madison’s east side. Sponsored by Marquette Neighborhood Association, Orton is known for its great selection of local and nationally touring bands, a terrific array of vendors from local restaurants, artists and businesses, kids games, an elegant Jazz Brunch, a rather quirky auction, and magical aerial trapeze performances under one of the park’s great oaks.
