Our good friend Rusty Bladen has been bringing his special brand of party to the Clifty Inn on New Years for several years now. Tickets go on sale in a couple of days .... : )

It’s officially “la la” season.🍂

You know the feeling: coffee in hand, sweater weather, a walk through town that turns into browsing a few shops - and suddenly you’re making plans to stay for dinner.

If cozy fall days and Gilmore Girls small-town vibes are your thing, come spend a day in Madison. We’ve got river views, downtown charm, and live music to give your visit its own soundtrack.

Find your next night out on the Indiana’s Music City app 🎶

Spooky season looks good on Madison.

Old buildings with stories to tell. A little chill coming off the Ohio River. Music drifting out of a downtown doorway as the sun goes down.

Spend the afternoon exploring the shops, grab dinner with your favorite people, and follow the music into the evening.

Come for the fall atmosphere. Stay for one more song.

Indiana’s Music City.
