Central Park Sessions 2015
GWABA was pleased to present Central Park Sessions 2015, a fabulous free concert series that spaned July through September! GWABA's Central Park Sessions bring our business and residential communities together to raise funds for local nonprofits while celebrating music from around the world.
In 2014 we raised $17,000 for local nonprofits! 2015's proceeds helped fund: The Literacy Network, Tenant Resource Center, Centro Hispano, The Urban League of Greater Madison, Project 1808, The River Alliance, Madison Parks Foundation and WORT-FM.
Thanks in advance to all the businesses, neighbors and musicians who come together to support this great event! And special thanks go out to Bob Queen and Nancy Kathman for bringing these amazing bands to the Williamson-Marquette Neighborhood! Please see a complete list of sponsors below.
Note that 2015's Central Park Sessions took take place on various days of the week due to construction on Central Park's skate park and that the first Session was held at Olbrich Park for the same reason.
