Parks still present in the middle of the city
Those who love the outdoors will find a personal haven in Downtown Huntsville. The downtown area alone is surrounded by three big parks: Big Spring Park, Bicentennial Park and Washington Park. Incorporating green space into everyday life is the philosophy of Downtown Huntsville.
Shopping the Greene Street Market and Clinton Row shops
Residents of downtown are within walking distance of two local grocery stores, and a Publix and Fresh Market are a short drive away. Downtown Huntsville also hosts the Greene Street Market, a farmers market in the city center that's open every Thursday evening from April to September. The downtown area is located by many beautiful and well-maintained parks, the largest of which are Big Spring Park and Bicentennial Park. Additionally, Clinton Row is a unique collective of small business and shop owners just 20 minutes away that serves the retail needs of Downtown Huntsville’s residents.
Tinsel Trail takes over two parks during the holidays
Community is an important part of Huntsville’s identity, which is why locals often gather together in the city center. Downtown Huntsville residents regularly throw street fairs and festivals. Big Spring Park regularly also hosts various concerts and events, including the annual Tinsel Trail display. The Tinsel Trail is an event during the holiday season when the entirety of both Big Spring Park and Bicentennial Park are filled with hundreds of Christmas trees uniquely decorated by businesses in the area.
A walkable downtown with highway access
The convenience and accessibility of Downtown Huntsville cannot be understated, especially since the rest of the city can be quickly reached off the nearby highways and main thoroughfares. The main appeal for many residents of Downtown Huntsville is how easy it is to walk to the places that will meet all your needs.
