In Middleton, we tend to make our own fun, and that is a year-round activity.

Some of the city’s most notable events include the outdoor winter festival Bockfest, held every winter at Capital Brewery (live music, food trucks, flying fish – who wouldn’t love this?), and summer kicks off with Art Walk Middleton, the Greenway Station Farmers Market, and Friday night bands in the bier garten at Capital Brewery. And no one can forget the quirky annual street festival for National Mustard Day (first Saturday of August), held downtown on Hubbard Avenue; and the Good Neighbor Festival's weekend of live music and fair rides at the end of August. Downtown Middleton also comes alive summer through fall with live music, family programming and outdoor movies at Stone Horse Green, an outdoor gathering place.
