Well, two things actually.
One – That it’s September.
Two – That the Monte Sano Art Festival is here!

Arts Huntsville’s Monte Sano Art Festival, this year presented by Simple Helix, has become pretty popular over the last several years.
Last year’s overwhelming community support lead organizers, for the first time ever, to expand the festival to two days.

Need to Know
Arts Huntsville works hard to organize and provide volunteers for this annual event. Special thanks to them for all of their hard work and the move to two days!
