Thanksgiving

Time of the season

A harvest banner for the month. No separate community list. The music board stays the board. These are community places — a haunt, a maze, a light walk, a parade. Not music rooms, and not on the venue list.

Holiday Season

Time of the season

Tree lightings, light walks, parades, markets, menorah lightings, Kwanzaa, turkey trots, Nutcrackers, holiday shows, and New Year’s Eve in Madison. These stay off the city board.
