The Orion Amphitheater made Huntsville holidays a little bit brighter this year. But, they’re not finished yet.

Here’s what you need to know about the Winter Park’s extension and the fun days ahead.

Here to stay until February 20

The Orion’s Winter Park was supposed to last until January 29, but they bent the rules a little bit (and we couldn’t be happier about it).

Huntsvillians can’t get enough of the concert-pit-turned-ice-rink, complete with igloos, music, food and drinks.

And when we say we can’t get enough, we’re serious. So serious, in fact, that Winter Park will now be sticking around until February 20. Here’s the daily schedule until then.

  • Monday-Thursday 5-9PM
  • Fridays 5-11PM
  • Saturdays 12-11PM
  • Sundays 12-9PM

And that’s just the regular hours. To add to the fun, they’re adding some special events, community nights, school spirit days and themed nights to the calendar.

Celebratory days and nights
