May 26 is National Road Trip Day, a perfect way to kick off the summer season. Holiday weekends are made for road trips, and here’s any easy one: Madison is hosting its annual World’s Largest Brat Fest, Friday-Sunday (May 26-28). It is exactly what the name says: A festival showcasing brats, brats and more brats. There’s also plenty of live music, carnival rides, kids’ games, ceremonies for soldiers and veterans — and a blast of fireworks Sunday night. Admission is free. Proceeds benefit the charities who help staff the event. For more details, go to bratfest.com.
