Grassroots and Nudie Suits Festival

Grass Roots and Nudie Suits is a free, family-friendly music and arts festival celebrating Madison’s rich legacy in roots and country music while spotlighting the vibrant community of local artists and creatives who call the neighborhood home today. Held along the beautifully redeveloped Madison Station Boulevard—including historic Amqui Station and Harken Hall—the festival will feature live performances, food and artisan vendors.

Rooted in heritage and looking to the future, the festival takes its name from both the grassroots spirit of community and the iconic Nudie Suits once worn by Madison legends like Hank Snow and Patsy Cline.

With activities for all ages and a culminating ticketed evening concert at Harken Hall, this annual celebration aims to build pride of place while connecting new and longtime residents through music, art, and shared history.
