Memorial Union Terrace Season Fun Returns

The iconic, outdoor Madison destination, the Memorial Union Terrace, reopens for the 2022 Terrace season on April 13 when the Wisconsin Union team brings back hundreds of green, yellow and orange chairs with a sunburst design to the Terrace.

The Memorial Union Terrace includes more than 40,000 square feet of accessible outdoor entertainment. The chairs’ return process begins on April 13, and the team expects their return to continue for two to three days at the Terrace.

The Terrace chairs with their unique, trademarked sunburst design have become synonymous with summer in Madison and are as well-known and loved as the Terrace on which they sit. The Terrace is between Lake Mendota and the Wisconsin Union’s building, the Memorial Union, which offers indoor seating, events, activities as well as many dining options.

The Union team has welcomed patrons to the Terrace and Memorial Union for more than 90 years. While the Terrace’s chairs changed through the years, starting with wooden chairs in the 1920s to metal chairs made in Wisconsin today, experiences for a lifetime at the Terrace remain a constant in the Terrace’s history.
