Huntsville Weekend Roundup April 16 -18
It’s a busy Huntsville Weekend here in the Rocket City! Our theatre lovers are in for a treat this weekend with five amazing performances to choose between! There’s also plenty of live music options and ways to try new things and make healthy lifestyle choices. As always, we’ve gathered some of our top picks below, or you can find a complete list on our full event calendar.
If you do choose to go out please remember your mask and hand sanitizer or just stay home if you’re able. Covid rates for North Alabama are beginning to head in the right direction, but we must stay vigilant. There’s hope!
A brand new adventure awaits in Big Spring Park!
We absolutely love that the historic Big Spring Park is right in the heart of downtown Huntsville. After all, it’s what inspired the birth of the city when John Hunt decided to settle at the top of the spring’s rock bluff over 200 years ago! There’s not a playground in this park, but we’ve created a fun activity you can do with your kids – the Big Spring Park Scavenger Hunt!
