Great News! We are not moving this year!
Due to anticipated construction on the MHU Campus, we thought that we would need to move the Madison Heritage Arts Festival to a new location for this year. But due to a delay in the start of construction, we will still be on College Street for the Festival in 2022.
We anticipate that we may need to move in 2023, but we won’t know until constructions starts on the Upper Quad and College Street.
