Madison Meet & Eat - EXTENDED INTO SEPTEMBER

The City of Madison is pleased to announce that Madison Meet and Eat at Meadowood will continue into September. Due to popular demand, this unique neighborhood event that brings a collective of local Madison's food cart vendors to a neighborhood and encourages friends and neighbors to enjoy a fun night out will take place four more times. This event will switch to every other week on Thursdays from 5-7:30pm. Upcoming dates include August 9, 23 and September 6 and 20th. The location for the 2012 Madison Meet & Eat events will remain the same just adjacent to the Meadowood Shopping Center at 5800 Raymond Road.

"I have truly enjoyed the time I have spent at Madison Meet and Eat over the past month," said Madison Mayor Paul Soglin. "The food has been awesome and it has been especially heartwarming to talk to so many residents who had asked to continue the program at Meadwood. I am pleased that we are able to do so."

The plan for Madison Meet & Eat is to become an annual, summer event that rotates around to different locations in Madison and plans are under way for 2013. This will allow other neighborhoods to experience healthy, local affordable food and help foster a greater sense of community. Attendees are encouraged to bring family members, friends, and neighbors to this great event.

Bring a friend and head down to the Madison Meet & Eat some tasty, affordable, local food!

Parking is limited so participants are encouraged to walk, bike or bus to the event.
