Every week, Macaroni KID Madison shares our picks for five things to do with your kids in the Madison area. Click on the links for all the details. 

This week features the Dane County Fair (Thursday-Sunday), the first Goodly Farm concert, a few more days to win a family pack  to see the 7/26  Forward FC Match, plus:

1. Science, Lawn Games and Frozen Treats - Verona Library. Do some messy experiments Tuesday at 130, and stay for the games/treats at 330. Plus don't forget all the great area library activities!

2. Kids Fest - Fitchburg Market. On Thursday enjoy games, kids shows and foods!

3. Rock the Ramp - Middleton. Whether you're making it to the EAA air show in Oshkosh or not, enjoy this pre-show Friday packed with activities - and airplanes!

4. Get unified. The Urban League's unity picnic is free on Saturday, and nearby the Urban Triage family field day (with dance and DJ competitions!)

5. Get fired up. Camp fires aren't the only cool kind in summer. Cambridge has an "all things fire" art and music fair Saturday and Sunday

And be sure to plan ahead for upcoming events like Sun Prairie Kids Fest, Northstar Fest, Community Day, and Curd Fest!
