Rhythm and Booms is Still On - Madison WI

by admin on June 28, 2008

Rhythm and Booms that is scheduled to take place today and tomorrow in Madison, WI will still operate despite the expected rain in both days, which has just been announced in a statement by Rhythm and Booms officials.

We intend to operate Rhythm & Booms tomorrow as normal, June 28, even though we do expect a few showers or a thundershower in the late afternoon and it will still be a great summerfest lineup.

We also expect showers on Sunday, which would have been the rain date, but accompanied by cooler temperatures and more wind. Sunday’s weather would provide a much less comfortable environment for fireworks viewing.

At this time, it appears the weather in the evening for the fireworks will be good. The best chance of showers is from noon to 3PM, so when you come to the park, please bring equipment to keep sheltered from the rain.

In spite of the showers, music, festivities, great food and a lot of fun will be had by all.

Some 250,000 are expected to turn out at Warner Park for the event dubbed as the “largest fireworks display in the Midwest.”

A special traffic plan will be in effect Saturday night to handle the estimated 60,000 vehicles. The plan includes shuttles, road closures and one-way traffic on streets.

For the second time, Rhythm and Booms organizers have planned a post-fireworks party to alleviate traffic congestion after the show.

“Remember that after the fireworks, instead of fighting the traffic, both of our music stages are open. Our great acts, mainliners are on stage from 10 p.m until after fireworks all the way until 11:30. The beer gardens are open, hamburgers and hot dogs, Pepsi and all kinds of things,” said Rhythm & Booms organizer.

East Gorham Street remains closed for summer construction, WISC-TV reported. Police recommended that people park further away from Warner Park and walk there to avoid congestion as it will probably be quicket getting to the venue.

The 35-minute fireworks show is set to begin at 9:30. The fireworks show is choreographed to music, which is broadcast over WOLX-94.9 FM. Spectators are encouraged to bring their boom boxes and radios to the park and tune in, the more music we have pumping the better the experience will be.

Organizers said they are monitoring the wind Saturday, as they can only shoot fireworks safely if winds are 12 to 15 mph. If winds do not die down by show time, they said the fireworks will be briefly delayed.

Remember people should also come prepared for wet, soft ground at Warner Park and bring something to sit on to stay dry.

There will be music and performances from artists such as Little Vito and the Torpedoes, Road Trip, BritBeat, Spicy Tie Band, The Groove Hogs and many other entertainers.
