SUMMARY:Mucca Pazza at Rainbow Summer Highlight
DESCRIPTION:Free Event  |  Family Day presented by Children’s Wisconsin\nMucca Pazza is an interdisciplinary instrumental music ensemble from Chicago. They have made a name for themselves playing alarmingly danceable music composed and arranged by band members especially for their implausible instrumentation – original music which defies classification.  \nIn addition to blaring trumpets\, slithering saxophones\, clarinets\, trombones\, and tubas\, the band boasts a drumline that seems to share a single nervous system\, an entire section of disparate instruments that don’t belong anywhere near a marching band (electric guitars\, accordion\, violin\, and yes\, a cello)\, and contains within its multitudes a cheer squad that performs absurdist cheers and asymmetrical\, impressively low-to-the-ground pyramids.  \nNo one has ever been completely certain of the exact number of people in Mucca Pazza. Everyone can be completely certain that this group of weirdos belongs together! Mucca Pazza: embracing the absurd! in solidarity with the improbable. \nStay tuned to MPAC Socials for any weather updates that may impact the event. \nSchedule of Family Day presented by Children’s Wisconsin:\n3:00 – 6:00 PM – Kid Boogie Down Dance Party + Henna Tattoos\n3:00 – 7:00 PM – Soul Spin – Spin Art MKE\n3:30 – 6:30 PM – Diana’s Snazy Face Painting\n4:00 – 6:00 PM – Bubbles Playtime\n6:30 – 8:00 PM – Mucca Pazza Performance in Peck Pavilion \nAll Day FUN\nElysian Arcs by Atelier Sisu\nInflatable Slide and Bounce Houses\nGiant Lawn Games\nRainbow Piano – BE the art! \nFood & Beverages\nSazama’s River Edge Patio serving Saz’s Festival Favorites and Beverages\nFood trucks starting at 3:00 PM: Cocina Filipina | Pineapple Cafe | El Sazon | Marco Pollo | Juan Roasting | Shake Shack

SUMMARY:Radio Free Honduras at Rainbow Summer: HIGHLIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Free Event | Sponsored by Versiti\nRadio Free Honduras incorporates the colorful tastes of salsa\, samba\, and bossa nova into their music\, drawing influence from the diverse musical traditions of Latin America. They are a cross-cultural\, multigenerational collaboration fronted by Honduran folk music legend Charlie Baran. \nPrior to immigrating to the USA\, Baran was a fixture in the largely undocumented music scene of Honduras in the 70s and 80s. He was an integral part of several of the biggest musical acts in Honduras during that era\, all of which played an essential role in creating the sound that eventually became the genre of music known as Punta Rock. \nWhile heavily influenced by the Punta-rock genre that Baran and his contemporaries in the Honduran music scene pioneered\, Radio Free Honduras performs a wide variety of styles that they generally refer to as Latin Americana.   \nStay tuned to MPAC Socials for any weather updates that may impact the event. \nSchedule of July 25:\n4:00 –  7:00 PM Mercadera Market\n5:30 – 7:30 PM Bubbles playtime with Michelle Hackett on South Grounds\n7:00 PM – Radio Free Honduras performance in Peck Pavilion \nAll Day FUN\nElysian Arcs by Atelier Sisu\nRainbow Piano – BE the art!\nGiant Lawn Games \nFood & Beverages\nSazama’s River Edge Patio serving Saz’s Festival Favorites and Beverages\nFood trucks starting at 5:00 PM: Isa’s Ice Cream | More Trucks Provided as part of Mercadera Market
