Where: Midvale Elementary School, 502 Caromar Drive Madison, WI, 53711
Midvale Elementary (502 Caromar Dr) has a large field adjacent to the chimney with plenty of space for attendees to spread out. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, pack a dinner or some takeout, and join us on the lawn for a gorgeous fall evening watching swifts gather at their roost.
Getting to Midvale Elementary: Please note that there is road construction occurring on the streets to the north of the school on S Owens Dr, Keating Terrace, and the northern stretch of Caromar Dr. We recommend accessing Caromar Drive via Tokay Blvd to avoid very rough roads. (View map)
Parking information: The parking lot is much smaller than our previous location. If you are able, we encourage you to park on nearby side streets and walk to the elementary school, reserving the parking lot for attendees with accessibility needs or families with young kids. Street parking is free in this neighborhood. (View map)
What to bring: Something to sit on (lawn chair, blanket), food and drink for yourself, bug spray, a jacket for when the sun goes down, binoculars if you'd like (they aren't needed to enjoy the show!)
