Another great event is coming soon to the great Near Eastside neighborhood! What do we love most about the Marquette Waterfront Festival? The music, the friends, the dancing, spending time outside, the beer? It is must be the combination! Here is the great description of this year’s event from the Marquette Neighborhood Association website:

Yet again the Marquette Neighborhood Association is conjuring up two days of unsurpassed excitement for the Marquette Waterfront Festival. The community will celebrate atop the whip thin spit of land known as Yahara Place Park on June 11th and 12th . This is the 22nd edition of the event and there will be a totally sensational group of performers around representing our neighborhood and diverse regions of the nation and the World. The music will be joyous and raucous and sweat-inducing danceable. We ask that you please come both days to enjoy the show and the seductive breeze at Lake Monona’s shore.

Saturday, June 11th, 2011 Waterfront Schedule

• 12:00 – The TakI All-Stars
• 1:30 – Grupo Candela

The hardest decision about this house will be whether to hang out on the front porch or the back porch – they are both perfect spots! Or if digging in the dirt is your thing you’ll love the gorgeous and fenced back yard, deck and outbuilding (this was once a garage back in the day) that would make a beautiful studio. Home layout features 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom on main floor (currently TV room) with an updated half bath. The kitchen has been remodeled and even though it isn’t a huge kitchen it has great efficiency, updated cabinets and an open spacious feel to the dining and living areas and conveniently located right at the back door to the back porch. Just one block to Tenney Park and the Beach and a quick bus trip to UW Campus and downtown. The Tenny Lapham neighborhood is one of the sweet spots in Madison.
