The Mifflin Street Block Party is an annual block party celebration held on Mifflin Street in Madison, Wisconsin. The party is held on the last Saturday of April and attended predominantly by students attending the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Originally a political protest, it has since become more focused on socializing and alcohol consumption before final exams.[1]
The party has typically featured local and out-of-state musical acts playing on house porches, balconies and backyard stages. The party has not had city sponsorship since 2012.[citation needed] Efforts by the university and the city to create competing events have been unsuccessful.[2][3] It is one of two large parties held in Madison, the other being the Freakfest Halloween party on State Street.
