Williamson-Marquette neighborhood residents and local families flocked to Williamson Street over the weekend for the 33rd annual Willy Street Fair.
Madison residents enjoyed live entertainment, a variety of food and artwork from local artists at the fair.
Madison's gay bar and dance club, Plan B, sponsored the main stage, which featured musical performers Primitive Culture among others Sunday.
Throughout the weekend, attendees were also able to check out performances on the Culture Stage, WORT-FM's Underground Stage, Madfolk Stage, MadCat DJ Stage and the Kid's Stage.
Over 150 local vendors provided food and beverages. Attendees were able to choose from Asian, Greek, Mexican and other food booths.
Patrons also purchased merchandise such as tie-dyed shirts, jewelry and local artwork. Organizations such as the Sierra Club and the Peace Corps set up booths to promote their causes.
Many attendees of the Willy Street Fair participated in the city's largest community-based raffle with over 140 prizes, according to the Common Wealth Development's website. Williamson Bicycle Works gave away a bicycle as one of many prizes.
The Willy Street Fair is a major fundraiser for Common Wealth Development and the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center.
The Greater Williamson Area Business Association sponsored Sunday's parade. The GWABA works with Madison's near east-side neighborhood and local business groups.
