2026 Huntsville Restaurant Week + Culinary Month Guide

As Huntsville continues to welcome an influx of new residents, its dining scene is expanding alongside the population, bringing new restaurants, flavors, and culinary concepts to the area. For diners, keeping up with the expanding selection can be a challenge.

The 2026 Huntsville Restaurant Week, organized by the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), offers a place to start. 

From Aug. 14–23, participating restaurants will roll out limited-time menus and special offers, giving residents and visitors 10 days to try somewhere new or revisit a longtime favorite.

Jennifer Moore, President/CEO of the CVB, said the area’s growing collection of restaurants and culinary businesses has strengthened Huntsville’s appeal to visitors and residents alike. 

“Huntsville, Madison and Madison County are fortunate to have a variety of culinary masterminds, bakers, chefs, brewers, and mixologists who have placed the Rocket City on the map as a foodie destination. From local favorites to international flavors, our food and beverage scene offers something for everyone,” Moore said. 

Restaurant Week is part of Huntsville Culinary Month. The CVB established the event in 2012 to promote and create additional business for area restaurants. The event has grown so much that in 2022, Culinary Month was established.

Pam Williams, CVB vice president of tourism and organizer of Culinary Month, said the event offers an opportunity to recognize the growth of the region’s food and beverage industry.

“Each year, the variety within our dining scene grows, and it is exciting to celebrate,” said Williams. 

Williams said the region’s growing international population is helping shape the range of dining options available throughout Madison County.

“Being home to Redstone, Marshall Space Flight Center, and scores of international companies attracts new residents who bring their culinary influences with them. This is reflected in the ever-growing variety of options,” Williams noted. 

To help diners navigate the month’s restaurants, promotions and events, the CVB is once again offering the free Rocket City Dish Pass.

The Rocket City Dish Pass is a free, mobile-friendly digital guide to Huntsville Culinary Month and Restaurant Week. After signing up, diners can use the pass on their phones to find participating restaurants, browse special menus and promotions, and keep up with events. 

Users can also check in when they visit participating businesses or events, with each check-in counting as an entry in the grand prize drawing.
