One of Madison’s staple events each summer is Shake the Lake. A day long event that stretches the length of John Nolen Drive with food carts, vendors and musicians galore. Each year people walk up and down the blocked off boulevard that lines Lake Monona while patiently waiting on the evening’s fireworks. As night falls, the street becomes more crowded and the smell of brats and beer become more alluring. Bikers and skateboarders smoothly navigate their way through the large clusters of people–young and old. By 8 p.m., all the families have marked their territories with blankets and baskets, while young children dare to run off far enough to test the boundaries of their freedom.

You’re looking most forward to swimming because the sun is beating down brutally, especially after the sweaty trek over.
