Sidewalk Arts Stroll brings diverse collection of artists, vendors, and performers to Downtown Huntsville

Huntsville’s sidewalks become stages for the arts at the Sidewalk Arts Stroll. Held in May, June, July, and August around downtown Huntsville’s historic courthouse square, the Sidewalk Arts Stroll is a premier marketplace with a diverse collection of artists, vendors, and performers who offer something for everyone!

The Stroll is an arts marketplace. It is not a juried art show. We take great pride that the Stroll attracts a diversity of artists and a great diversity of artwork. And it draws the participation of artists at various stages in their professional careers. While many of our Stroll artists have established reputations and regularly exhibit select regional shows and in galleries, for several of our artists this is their first art festival.

The Stroll also provides a great venue for musical or performance groups. On one corner there may be a gospel music group, on the next a band playing original music, on the next a jazz saxophonist, and on the next an improvisational group rounding up volunteers from the audience!

Several years ago we expanded our marketplace to include vendors who offer locally grown produce, home baked goods, and other fine, handcrafted products. This has become a very popular addition to our arts marketplace. In addition, vendors also offer books, antiques, and other unique, one-of-a-kind items.

So whether you are an artist, an entertainer, an artisan who specializes in home baked breads, or someone who just wants to enjoy downtown Huntsville on a summer evening, we invite you, your family, your friends, to the Sidewalk Arts Stroll. The arts stroll is free to the public.

Dates for the 2011 Summer Sidewalk Arts Stroll Series May 19, June 16, July 21 and August 18.

Always the Third Thursday! 4:30 pm until 8:30 pm.
