Welcome to Downtown Arab. An area rich in heritage and history, Arab is located atop of Brindlee Mountain in beautiful North Alabama. With many unique shops and businesses and several quaint diners, downtown Arab is an experience waiting to be discovered. 

Working with the City of Arab, the Downtown Association is in the process of a revitalization project that has seen a huge growth of business in Downtown in recent months. 

Start your visit at the Tuttle Thompson Park at the corner of Hwy 69 and Main Street, where you can see the statue of our city's founding father, Tuttle Thompson. Our town is named in honor of his son Arad Thompson. (Even though the post office misspelled it and named us Arab). Continue your visit by strolling the sidewalks where many merchants display their wares in weekly sidewalk sales, have a seat on one of the many benches and visit a while.. we'd love to meet you!  

Downtown Arab hosts many events throughout the year including our Annual Poke Salat Bluegrass Festival, the farmers market, and a monthly Art Walk in the summer and early fall months. 

Visit our Downtown Directory to see a listing of the businesses located in Downtown Arab. 

Come... Discover Downtown Arab.
