Each year, concertgoers arrive early to claim prime space on the Capitol lawn, turning the grounds into a sea of blankets. Balloons and picnic baskets decorate the Square. And then the music begins.

Broadcasts of Concerts on the Square® on Wisconsin Public Television are made possible by the John and Carolyn Peterson Charitable Foundation.
