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 along with La Taguara,  Melly Mells Catering, and Kips Kitchen. 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.
