Your Weekly Geek Out Locally Guide!

Geek Out Huntsville shares their top weird and geeky things in the week of June 01 2026 to do in North Alabama on WLRH’s Curiosity Squad and on Tennessee Valley Mornings.

Get ready for a week full of wonderfully specific hobbies. Whether you’re into trivia, tabletop games, amateur radio, books, or soccer, Huntsville has something waiting on your calendar. I’m Lauren Jones with Geek Out Huntsville and this is Geek Out Locally on WLRH.

On Monday, June 8th, gather your smartest friends and your luckiest guessers for Monday night trivia at the Speakeasy in Straight to Ale starting at 630 PM. Teams of up to eight can compete for bragging rights in this free event for guests 21 and up.

Tuesday is for Radio Enthusiast and the Radio Curious. Gigaparts host an amateur radio learn and social beginning at four, followed by amateur radio tech topics from six to 730. This week’s featured topic is the Go Box.

On Wednesday, June 10th, the North Alabama board gamers gather at JC’s House of Cards in Madison. Starting at 6 PM, you’ll find board games, card games, Euro games, and plenty of opportunities to learn something new.

Have you tried a silent book club yet? On Friday, June 12th, readers gather at Piper and Leafs downtown Huntsville location to spend an evening reading together, quietly. Bring your current book, your summer reading list, and perhaps some headphones if you’d like maximum concentration.

Also Friday, downtown Huntsville hosts a FIFA-approved World Cup Watch Party at Holmes and Jefferson. Sponsored by Timberlake League and Brooks, the free community event begins at six with the US taking on Paraguay at 8 PM. Whether you’re a lifelong soccer fan or just enjoy big community gatherings, it’s a chance to experience a little international energy right here in the Rocket City.

As always, schedules can shift so checking details ahead of time never hurts. I’m Lauren Jones. Stay curious.

There’s always something weird and wonderful happening around Huntsville.
