This time of year, the Tour of Homes and Skating in the Park becomes a popular attraction for people getting into the holiday spirit.
While it’s fun to see a parade of twinkling house decorations or glide across an outdoor ice rink, there’s one stop this month that’s guaranteed to make it to the top of the list. Huntsville Galleries is hosting their bi-annual Gallery Tour across Madison County this Thursday night, December 5, from 5:00 -9:00 pm, and each stop is throwing their own individual party.
This city-wide event puts local galleries in Huntsville and Madison on the map by showcasing visual artists and their work at each shop on the tour.
Ever wondered where all the cool art stores and galleries were?
Just take a peek at Huntsville Galleries’ hand-picked list located throughout the Huntsville and North Alabama area. Each individual place is hosting their own reception, so partygoers can visit as many or as few of them as they like.
