Marquette

Marquette Neighborhood, located on the near east side, is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Madison. Abundant in nineteenth century architectural styles: Greek Rivival, Italianate, Late Picturesque to Arts & Crafts Bungalows makes this neighborhood one of the few with intact buildings of Madison’s early history. Locally owned shops, restaurants, and entertainment establishments line the Williamson Street. The Marquette Neighborhood Association (MNA), established in May 1968, has been the force behind citizen involvement and participation and promotes neighborhood family fun activities such as the neighborhood yard sale (June), Waterfront Festival (June), La Fete de Marquette (July), Orton Park Festival (August), and Willy Street Fair (September).
