Ghosts, witches, and scarecrows have been roaming the streets of downtown Huntsville and now they have taken over our Downtown Explorer. In this edition of the Downtown Explorer, we will give you the exclusive on all the tricks and treats you can get in downtown this Halloweek! From daytime dress-up activities to evil evening plans, Downtown HSV has lots of physically-distanced and mask-friendly Halloween festivities. Even if you plan on having a quiet night alone (or so you think), we have a list of some chillingly good Halloween inspired menu items to enjoy this weekend. So, prepare for the fright of your life this week in downtown Huntsville!
You don't have to wait until the sun goes down to enjoy Halloween festivities in downtown Huntsville.

Saturday morning, you will see some witches riding through downtown. Don't be frightened, they have some candy to offer the little monsters on their way through! The Blossomwood Witches Ride is a fundraiser for Blount Hospitality House, in Huntsville - as well as an excuse for ladies to let out their witchy side!
