Kick Off Summer with Concerts in the Park: A Beloved Huntsville Tradition

When the days get longer and the evenings warmer, there’s no better way to enjoy a Huntsville summer than gathering with the community at Big Spring Park for Concerts in the Park. This free, family-friendly event has become a seasonal staple, offering ten weeks of live music, local flavor, and downtown charm.

Hosted by Arts Huntsville in partnership with Huntsville Parks & Recreation, the concert series begins the first Monday in June and continues every Monday evening through August. Each performance showcases a different local music act, spanning a variety of genres—so there’s truly something for everyone. From rock and folk to Latin, R&B, country, and top 40 hits, this series celebrates the incredible diversity and talent of Huntsville’s music scene.
