2025 Dane Dances Event Page

Dane Dances is a free, family-friendly event held every Friday evening in August on the beautiful Monona Terrace rooftop. The much-anticipated summer music series is a great way to get down and dance with your friends, family, or coworkers. Dane Dances promotes inclusivity with a fun night of music and dancing for all ages. Feel free to bring a blanket, chair, and picnic basket (sorry no carry in alcohol); seating on the rooftop is limited.

Lake Vista Café will be open for your enjoyment. Food and cocktails are available for purchase at 4:30 PM. Sorry, carry in alcohol is prohibited. Visa and MasterCard accepted.

In the case of inclement weather the concert will be moved inside Monona Terrace.
