🚀 Fox & Friends Shines a National Spotlight on Huntsville

Huntsville just got its moment in the national spotlight. Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy stopped by the Rocket City this week as part of his ongoing Main Street, USA tour, showcasing everything that makes our corner of North Alabama so unique.

Broadcasting live, Doocy turned the cameras toward NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, where he sat down with the engineers helping send astronauts back to the Moon as part of the Artemis program.

The segment didn't stop with space. Doocy also showcased the city's booming automotive manufacturing scene, our thriving live music culture, and a growing list of Michelin-recommended restaurants!

It's a national-level reminder that Huntsville has become one of the most exciting cities in the South. Watch the full segment here.
