Huntsville Weekend Roundup January 12-14

Huntsville weekend

It’s a long holiday weekend here in Huntsville, and the lineup of fun and free things to do is great! Parades, art activities, and LEGOS are all happening, and all are a great opportunity to work in some valuable family time.

If you don’t find something below to get excited about, be sure to check our full Event Calendar for even more options. We’re also asking readers for their feedback in our RCM Reader Survey – tell us what we’re doing right, what we’re doing wrong, and what you’d like to see in the future! Who knows? You might win something for having opinions.

SAVE THE DATE: This year’s 2018 Learning Expo will be Saturday, January 27th at Earlyworks Children’s Museum, and we can’t wait for you to join us! Free museum admission, kid’s activities, and valuable educational resources for local families are all on the schedule.
