This is a photo from the annual Friends of Starkweather Creek summer solstice celebration last month in Olbrich Park. The community gathers to listen to live music, admire giant puppets and dance around a towering bonfire. It's always great fun.

Starkweather Creek flows across the east side of Madison. It was once a neglected drainage ditch but we've been working hard to transform it into a community asset. Read more here, or join the discussion here.
