Downtown Huntsville, Inc. (DHI) proudly announces the launch of its latest project, the eagerly anticipated event series called 805 After Five.  Aimed at energizing the city's vibrant community of young professionals, 805 After Five promises an unparalleled experience every third Thursday from May to October at Campus 805’s Butler Green Park.

In partnership with the Huntsville Music Office, each installment of 805 After Five will feature an electrifying concert by a touring act, providing the perfect soundtrack to kickstart the weekend early. Attendees can expect an eclectic lineup of musical talents released prior to the concert each month. 

Kicking off the first 805 After Five event on May 16 are The Lemon Twigs. The Long Island indie-rock band will be performing original singles and some hits from their upcoming album, “A Dream is All We Know,” releasing on May 3. The Lemon Twigs have received national attention, performing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and CBS This Morning. The opening act for the concert will be Crystal Egg, an up-and-coming indie band.

The excitement doesn't stop there because 805 After Five offers much more than just music. Event goers can partake in a multitude of activities, including vendor booths, yard games, food trucks, and a refreshing selection of beverages from Straight to Ale and Yellowhammer. Additionally, community partners will host interactive experiences and/or giveaways, adding to the excitement of the event.
