HUNTSVILLE — Alabama’s newest cultural destination, Huntsville’s Orion Amphitheater, continues to receive praise from artists who play there and industry leaders who support it.
Not to mention the more than 150,000 fans who have watched shows and events there since its opening in May.
And there is plenty more entertainment to come during the last few months of the amphitheater’s inaugural season. The lineup features Stevie Nicks on Halloween, the HPD Halloween Haunted House, Christkindlmarket Huntsville, and holiday programming yet to be announced.
The Orion recently won the 2022 Partnership in Tourism Award from the Alabama Tourism Department as well as Attraction of the Year from the Alabama Mountain Lakes Association.
Furthermore, it was also nominated for 2022 Amphitheater of the Year by the International Entertainment Buyers Association; and CEO Ben Lovett was selected as one of VenueNow’s Top 2022 All-Star Executive Honorees, which celebrates stand-out leaders across entertainment and sports.
The Orion marks a bold new chapter in North Alabama’s unparalleled musical history.
With its proximity to the iconic Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, Huntsville enjoys its status as part of the Americana Music Triangle, known for its cultural achievement as the birthplace of one of America’s greatest exports, music.
The Orion goes beyond music, providing cultural experiences throughout the year – including public art and educational events for the community, plus opportunities for local businesses and government to stage large-scale gatherings.
