Couch Crashes are full of fun events that the local Couchsurfing community has organized in advance so you can get the most out of your time in Madison. It's also a great time for Couchsurfers to socialize and gain experience hosting/surfing. Madison’s 9th Annual Couch Crash will take place August 24th through August 27th.
