Here is everything to know before you go.
Quick tip: This is an especially easy school-night outing. You can feed the kids, let them trick-or-treat, enjoy the program and fireworks, and still be home at a reasonable time.
The first 500 guests through the gates will receive a free hot dog and soda, so arriving close to 6 p.m. is a smart move!

Kids can trick-or-treat from booth to booth around the concourse while families visit with local businesses. Children under 12 will also receive a free pumpkin tote bag to collect candy, vendor swag, and other goodies along the way.
This year’s Celebrate Madison theme is “Madison Celebrates Redstone,” a community tribute to Team Redstone and the people whose service, work, innovation, and dedication have such a meaningful impact on Madison and North Alabama.
The approximately 30-minute patriotic program will include:
The Madison Chamber will also recognize its 2026 Military Family of the Year, presented by Signalink, in one of the evening’s most meaningful moments.
Families will hear a brief Madison City Schools update during the program.
The Madison Chamber will also present a check to the Supporting Our Students Fund, funded by proceeds from its annual Back to School Breakfast.
Celebrate Madison wraps up with a free fireworks show presented by Huntsville Utilities, lighting up the sky over Toyota Field.
