The Wisconsin Union team will begin its annual, months-long outdoor entertainment and dining festival, called Terrace Season, with the return of the terrace chairs to the outdoor space of the Memorial Union Terrace on April 16, followed by a Terrace Chair Return Party on April 18 from 3-6 p.m.
Terrace Season, a nearly 100-year-old tradition, features free concerts, free film showings, limited-time dining opportunities, free and low-cost art-making and outdoor recreation.
The Wisconsin Union’s festival season’s free film screenings will begin in June, and free concerts, free and low-cost art activities and low-cost summer outdoor recreation services will start in late May. The Wisconsin Union team presents live music multiple days per week and is planning four genre-focused music weekends, including jazz, country, Americana and blues.
The Union team will announce its film and music lineup online in May. During inclement weather, events will move indoors to Memorial Union whenever possible.
The Wisconsin Union anticipates that its seasonal brat stand will open on April 18, and its seasonal BBQ stand will open on May 9.
