The Jazz Consortium’s very popular Strollin’ series returns to Middleton. This mini-jazz fest will feature performances by fourteen bands presenting six hours of continuous and stylistically diverse live music at eight indoor and outdoor venues in Middleton’s vibrant and eminently “walkable” downtown area. Now in its third year in Middleton, this popular “jazz stroll” features a staggered schedule allowing attendees to sample many different musical styles. In addition, this year the Middleton Arts Committee is sponsoring a Pop-Up Art Walk in collaboration with the Strollin’ Middleton Jazz Festival. The Art Walk will highlight local artists displaying and selling their work. Locations will be indicated by large red balloons outside of the businesses that are hosting artists. Free admission.
