Celebrate Fall at the 43rd Madison Street Festival in Historic Downtown Madison

One of North Alabama’s favorite fall traditions is back! The Madison Street Festival returns to Historic Downtown Madison on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This year marks the 43rd annual celebration, and it’s shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.

The Madison Street Festival is a free, family-friendly event that brings the entire community together to celebrate the start of fall. You’ll find something for everyone, including:

• Live entertainment and performing arts

• Local businesses, arts, and crafts vendors

• Children’s and teen areas filled with activities

• Food vendors offering festival favorites

• Sponsor row and city showcases that highlight everything Madison has to offer

The day kicks off with the parade at 9:00 a.m. on Church Street, followed by opening ceremonies on the entertainment stage. Be sure to get there early so you don’t miss the excitement!

Parking is easy with free shuttles running from Crosspointe Church and Madison City Stadium directly to the festival. Assisted ride buses will also be available. Please note that from 8:45–10:00 a.m., the Crosspointe Church shuttle will be rerouted to a different drop-off spot at the festival. If you’re traveling back during that time, you’ll need to catch the shuttle from the Maple Street stop.

And here’s something we’re especially excited about: The Embry Group Real Estate team will be at the Madison Street Festival! We love being part of the Madison community and couldn’t miss the opportunity to celebrate with you. Whether you’re new to the area, thinking about buying or selling a home, or just want to say hello, stop by our booth—we’d love to meet you!

The Madison Street Festival is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of everything that makes our community special. So mark your calendars, bring the family, and join us for a full day of shopping, learning, creating, and making memories in downtown Madison.
