Your Weekly Geek Out Locally Guide!

Geek Out Huntsville shares their top weird and geeky things in the week of July 20 2026 to do in North Alabama on WLRH’s Curiosity Squad and on Tennessee Valley Mornings.

I’m Lauren Jones with Geek Out Huntsville, and this is Geek Out Locally on WLRH. Kick off the week, Wednesday, July 22nd, at Innerspace Brewing, where Trivia Master hosts General Knowledge Trivia, starting at 7pm. It’s a relaxed night of questions, educated guesses, and the occasional triumphant, I knew that one.

Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, the Downtown Huntsville Library hosts Pokemon Hour. Each week features different activities celebrating one of gaming’s most enduring franchises.

Then Friday night, July 24th, Back 40 Beer Company hosts a Dungeons & Dragons Social. Whether you’re looking for a fellow adventurer, a new campaign, or that elusive dungeon master, it’s a gathering built around storytelling, imagination, and rolling entirely too many dice.

Saturday offers a little something for every kind of geek. Shenanigans Comedy Theater presents another savory cinema, this time featuring Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke. The film is paired with food and drinks inspired by the story, creating an evening that’s equal parts movie night and culinary adventure. Advanced tickets are needed.

Over at Campus Grounds and straight to Ale Beer Garden, the Plant Shop and Swap brings together coffee lovers and plant enthusiasts for a morning of swapping cuttings, sharing gardening knowledge, and maybe finding the newest addition to your windowsill. The Botanical Fun runs from 10 to 2.

Meanwhile, GigaParts hosts Private AI; Running Models on Your Own PC, from 4 to 5 p.m. The free class answers questions if you’ve been wondering how to run AI tools locally on your own computer without relying on online services. Hardware basics, tools, open models, and more will be covered.

And wrap up the weekend on Sunday, July 26th with the North Alabama Board Gamers. Starting at 1 p.m. at JC’s House of Cards in Madison, board games, card games, Euro games, and friendly competition fill the tables.

As always, schedules can shift, so checking details ahead of time never hurt. I’m Lauren Jones. May your dice roll high, your trivia answers be correct, and your plants survive the summer.
