What started as an employee appreciation cookout at Metcalfe’s Market has now become the largest brat and music festival in the world, featuring thousands and thousands of Johnsonville brats. Event organizer Tim Metcalfe says the menu also includes sweet corn, ice cream, and carnival food, among other things. Roughly 1,900 volunteers will raise $100,000 for various charities by working at Brat Fest. Three music stages will provide entertainment. Families can get up close and personal with animals and farm equipment. Event-goers can also do some shopping at a new marketplace. Brat Fest is going on Friday through Sunday at Willow Island at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. Find more details, including when to view the fireworks, at https://bratfest.com/
