Live at The Glen

Live at The Glen is a year-round celebration of art, culture, and community at The Glen Golf Park—a reimagined public space where recreation, creativity, and connection come together. Supported by the Madison Parks Foundation, this initiative makes live performances and cultural events accessible to everyone, turning one of Madison’s most scenic parks into a gathering place for all.

A Stage for Everyone

What began as a summer concert series has grown into a full calendar of events designed to welcome people of all a

ges and abilities. Live at The Glen features:

• Live music from local and regional artists across genres—from folk and blues to jazz and rock

• Outdoor movie nights under the stars

• Adaptive dance and movement classes designed for inclusivity and mobility for all participants

• Cultural showcases, including performances by the Ho-Chunk Nation and other community groups

• Pop-up events and seasonal celebrations that highlight the vibrancy of Madison’s parks year-round

Where Community Comes Together

Each event is designed to bring neighbors together in a relaxed, inclusive environment. Families spread out picnic blankets, kids dance on the grass, and people connect across generations and cultures. The Glen has become a place where recreation meets creativity—and where everyone belongs.

Accessible, Welcoming, and Free

True to the mission of the Madison Parks Foundation, Live at The Glen ensures that art and culture are accessible to everyone, regardless of income or background. Events are:

• Free and open to all ages

• Easily accessible by bike, bus, or foot

• Supported by generous donors and sponsors who believe in community-powered public spaces
