Huntsville Transit launches free shuttle for 805 After Five concert series

Published on May 14, 2025

Getting to one of Huntsville’s favorite live music events just got easier. In response to community feedback about parking accessibility, the City of Huntsville and Downtown Huntsville, Inc. (DHI) are partnering to pilot a free shuttle service for the 805 After Five concert series.

The free service will launch Thursday, May 15, and will run from 5-9 p.m., helping concertgoers get to and from Butler Green at Campus 805 with ease.

Attendees can park in Lot K, located off Clinton Avenue near Woodson Street, and catch the shuttle directly to the event site.

The route is designed to ease traffic congestion and improve access to the popular outdoor music series, which attracts large crowds throughout the spring, summer and fall.

“We’re always looking for ways to enhance the public’s experience at community events, and this shuttle is a great example of how we can use transit creatively,” said Quisha Bryant, Director of Parking and Public Transportation. “We’re excited to pilot this service and appreciate the collaboration with DHI.”

The 805 After Five series, hosted by DHI and the Huntsville Music Office, features live music, local food and drink vendors, and a lively atmosphere in one of the city’s most beloved entertainment districts. As the event has grown in popularity, so has the demand for convenient parking and transportation solutions.

“This shuttle is another step in making sure everyone can enjoy Huntsville’s vibrant music scene without the hassle,” said Matt Mandrella, Huntsville Music Officer. “It’s a small but meaningful move that shows how the City and our partners are working together to support local music and the people who love it.”
