Downtown streets, like Main Street, are teeming with thousands of people during the street festival. Madison Police Departments estimated more than 20,000 visitors at the 2013 festival.

Taking a day to celebrate community Story By Gregg L. Parker Photographs By Sarah Brewer On Oct. 4, 2014, Madison’s populace will convene downtown for a day to celebrate its lifestyles, camaraderie and interests. This day of laid-back revelry is called the Madison Street Festival.

Former Madison mayors will be Grand Marshals for the 2014 parade. Burwell ‘Sonny’ Wilbanks was in office during the first festival in 1976; his terms covered 19691981 and 1983-1988.

Other former mayors expected to attend are Teague Cuddeback (1988-1991), Don Spencer (1991), Ann van Leeuwen (1991-1992), Charles Yancura (1992-2000), Jan Wells (2000-2004), Sandy Kirkindall (2004-2008), Paul Finley (20082012).

Starting at Infinity Skate Park, parade entries will wind through the historic district on Church Street to 4 Madison Street Festival 2014

the gazebo for opening ceremonies.

Bob Jones High School Band will perform.

“We’re so pleased Debbie Hoover is in her third year as parade chair.

She’s taking this parade over the top,” Overcash said.

Shuttles will make roundtrips from Madison City Schools Stadium, 211 Celtic Drive, and CrossPointe Church’s new campus, 78 Hughes Road. Overcash acknowledged the city’s generosity to supply strollerand handicap-accessible shuttles that run all day.

The 2014 festival is boarding the “food-truck train,” food chairperson Gayle Milam said.

One of those truckies, Café on Wheels Neon Lilly will serve Eastern European cuisine, including Penmen cabbage rolls, kielbasa and sauerkraut, publicist Sharon Holcombe said. Visitors can lunch at the festival’s ‘Madison Cafe’ at Main/ Wise streets, along with snack-and-

sip vendors throughout downtown.

North Alabama Vietnam Helicopter Pilot Association and Schnitzel Ranch will serve bratwursts, chicken schnitzel and fried fritters. Venice Gelato, Dippin’ Dots and Piper & Leaf artisan iced tea will cool the palate.

Longtime concessionaires Rainbow Mountain Homemakers and Greek Flame Food with gyros will return.

Using visitors’ suggestions, MSF organizers have expanded free activities in the Children’s Area for 12-year-olds and younger. The Children’s Tent will have magic, animal balloons, snow, face painting, woodworking and ‘green goo.’

A petting zoo and pony rides will thrill the kids. Madison Police Department will fingerprint children for family security.

“Co-chairman Karen Morris and Pat Cross have seen the MSF Children’s Area grow to over 2,500

children,” Overcash said.

Artist Alley with juried artwork will be exhibited in Dennis Vaughn’s shady back lawn, west of Church Street. Co-Chairmen Kathy Lewis and Rosalie Holcombe have assembled an impressive menagerie of talent with paintings, pen and ink, charcoal, sculptures, pottery, handcrafted furniture and novelties.

Arts and Crafts will feature about 60 vendors at Church/Maple streets on Madison United Methodist Church’s east lawn, according to chairperson Brenda Parker, who is the MSF Committee’s longest serving member.

“I’m just as excited to see the new vendors as well as those who return every year,” Parker said. Vendors will attend from Madison County, Hartselle, Birmingham, Decatur, Athens, Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee.

Their wares include birdhouses, hand-knitted scarves and caps, baby and children’s clothing, bath and body products, hair bows, jewelry, art, pottery, home decor, pens – even fan pulls fashioned from wood and deer antlers.

“If you need an electric cigar-box guitar, we’ll have them,” Parker said. “The items these crafters bring are as diverse as the people themselves.”

For live entertainment, the Gazebo Stage and the new Main Street Stage at Sullivan/Main streets will jazz

the festival atmosphere. Entertainment chairperson Alisha Roberts and co-chair Faye Wishik are scheduling an exciting line-up of outstanding local entertainment.

To-date, acts include Abby Wright, The Beasley Brothers, Bob Jones Band, AMC/Sonic Fusion, Groove Band and Dorothy Cole’s Tina Turner Revue.

“We’re fortunate to have information vendor chair Lisa Clayton in her fourth year, joined by Kathi Tew and Tina Beacraft,” Overcash said. “This team works tirelessly to bring Everything Madison in a sampling of retail, healthcare, insurance, building/real estate, nonprofits, political groups and churches.”

About 75 information vendors will line Front Street, with its circa-1900 historic homes as backdrop.

The festival’s Car Show has attracted Vets with Vettes and other Corvette owners, along with muscle and vintage cars, trucks and motorcycles. The mayor, police and fire chiefs, MSF committee, fellow exhibitors and children will decide on awards.

In 2013, the festival gave grants to Rainbow Elementary School’s “Spring Forward” and Multicultural Fair, $600 each; James Clemens High School Theatre, $1,000; Madison Public Library, $1,000; and Madison Young Marines, $1,500.

This vintage Corvette proudly sits among other collectible automobiles, revved-up trucks and other custom vehicles at the Car Show.
