Sundown Concert Series at Town Creek Park
If you're looking for something to do on Thursday nights, look no further than the Sundown Concert Series at Town Creek! It takes place every Thursday in October and May and is completely free. There are even free inflatables for kids and yummy concessions! And the biggest plus: leashed dogs are more than welcome.
Jordan-Hare Stadium
There's not much that can make an Auburn football game better: except a beautiful sunset over Jordan-Hare Stadium. The sky truly seems to bleed orange and blue in the best stadium in the country (and, dare we say, the world).
The Wittel Rooftop Bar at the Collegiate Hotel
