Autumn in Downtown Huntsville is a special time of year, and there are few better ways to welcome it than with a pilgrimage through one of the Rocket City’s most sacred areas at the Maple Hill Cemetery Stroll.

The Maple Hill Cemetery Stroll, scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 19, has become one of the largest living history strolls in America. History comes to life all along the path with more than 60 costumed characters living out Huntsville’s rich history through storytelling. This free event features music, historical exhibits and scavenger hunts for kids of all ages.

The Grand Stroll Parade begins at 1:30 p.m. Stories and music take place from 2-4:30 p.m. There just may not be a more unique way to appreciate the magic of Huntsville’s storied past!

This very popular event is held in a quiet residential neighborhood with limited parking. Please be mindful of nearby residences and don’t block driveways or alleys.

*RAIN DATE: In the case of inclement weather, the stroll will be rescheduled for Sunday, Oct. 26.
