 Welcome
to the Shoals...
This is southern
living at its best. This is how life is supposed to
be. From the houses on the bluffs overlooking the
Tennessee River to the beautiful and historic homes in
each city's downtown area, life in the Shoals is full
of beauty.
Situated on the banks
of the beautiful Tennessee River, the Shoals has a
rich history in the music industry.
We're known far and wide for the "Muscle Shoals
Sound."
Our community
hosts numerous festivals and events throughout the
year including the NCAA Division II Championship
Football Game.
There are four
adjacent towns nestled in the hills of northwest
Alabama, on the banks of the Tennessee River, that
offer their citizens an enviable sense of safety and
comfort. But because these towns are so intertwined,
the residents here enjoy a quality of life and a
variety of activities usually only found in much
larger metropolitan areas.
Native Americans settled this area long ago, and the
Indian Mound museum is located on a ceremonial burial
mound near the river. The Festival of the Singing
River honors our native ancestry each fall. But our
celebrations don't end there. The Shoals is the site
for the Alabama Renaissance Faire, held each October,
as well as Arts Alive, Heritage Days, the Freedom of
America Celebration on the fourth of July, an annual
Trail of Tears Celebration, and many others.
The Shoals is an outdoor lover's dream. Golfers pick
from a variety of public and private courses. The
river and its system of lakes offers a variety of
recreational activities. Nature lovers and bird
watchers find much to enjoy in the area's public
parks, camping areas and walking trails. In the
spring, neighborhoods come alive with flowering
dogwoods and azaleas, and the downtown areas buzz with
activity as restaurants move tables to the sidewalk
and enjoy another change of season.
But there's plenty to do indoors, as well. The
Kennedy-Douglass and Tennessee Valley Art Centers
offer exhibits, classes and juried shows. Theater
groups and dance studios perform; museums offer
educational programs.
A mix of manufacturing, service industries, retail,
medical and financial institutions give the Shoals
stability and strength. This is a shopping and medical
hub for the tri-state area.
The Shoals is the
sixth largest market in Alabama and offers numerous
opportunities for business investment and enhanced
quality of life.
