Market at the Garden: Things to Do in Huntsville 

Looking for fun things to do in Huntsville this week? The Market at the Garden is back at the Huntsville Botanical Garden tonight, Wednesday, August 20, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM. This seasonal open-air shopping experience is one of the most popular Huntsville events of the summer and early fall, bringing together local vendors, handmade goods, and fresh-grown products.

A Huntsville Tradition at the Botanical Garden

The Market is held at the scenic Grisham Pavilion, located just inside the Garden gates near the Dogwood Parking Lot. It’s easy to stop by after work, bring your family, or meet up with friends for a midweek outing. Best of all, no Garden admission is required to enjoy the Market.

What You’ll Find at the Market

• A relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere perfect for an evening out

• Free admission and convenient parking in the Dogwood Lot
