A Walkable District with Big Energy

At Placemakr Huntsville, you’re just a short walk away from the gates—no parking chaos, no rideshares, just fresh air and good vibes as you stroll to the show.

Food, Music, and Makers All Around

There’s no shortage of things to do (and eat) in MidCity. Local flavor is baked into the district—literally. From ramen and wood-fired pizza to breweries and coffee bars, the food scene is as creative as the people who live here.

Catch a live show at the renowned Orion Amphitheater, or spend the afternoon at The Camp—an open-air hangout with food trucks, craft drinks, and nightly live music. On Sundays from mid-March through early November, explore The Market at MidCity, one of Alabama’s largest farmers markets and a vibrant mix of bakers, makers, musicians, and artists.
