Worlds Largest Brat Fest by Tom_In_Madison
Brat, rhymes with 'hot', not 'hat'.Free to get in. Brats are $1. 16 oz bottles of pepsi are $1.
Memorial day weekend for 4 days there is a huge Brat fest on the Alliance Center fields. Brat = bratwurst. They have demos, lots of entertainment, a huge and I mean huge grill cooks the brats. I think they sell something like 200,000 over the weekend. That's 18 miles of sausage if stacked end-to-end. Boca brats are also available for the vegetarians. Hot dogs for kids. This is a fundraiser for a whole bunch of non-profit agencies. You might want to go for a meal and spend a half day here, or a couple hours.
They used to have it on Labor day too, and might resurrect it. I'm not sure at this time. Oddly enough the Madison marathon ends right near here too, so if you get done with the marathon that saturday and need a bite, just slide over for a brat or four.
