Hey Rocket City! 👋
Last Saturday, I found myself walking through downtown with a warm chai latte, watching the leaves change colors and families gathering for weekend fun. There's something magical about fall weekends in Huntsville, the perfect weather, the buzz of community events, and that special energy in the air. This October 17-19 weekend is no exception!
Weekend Weather: Expect sunny skies and perfect fall temps for outdoor fun! Mid-70s during the day, cooling to the low 50s at night which is ideal for everything from outdoor concerts to evening ghost tours.
🎃 FAMILY FUN
Spellbound @ Huntsville Botanical Garden: Get into the Halloween spirit with enchanting lights, magical displays, and family-friendly fun at the Botanical Garden. It's the perfect evening activity for all ages!
Pro Tip: Bring a light jacket for the evening walk because it gets chilly after sunset! 🔗 https://hsvbg.org/calendar-event/spellbound/2025-10-16/
