Downtown Huntsville's popular Sidewalk Arts Stroll is going away.

Organizers Donna Castellano and Dianne Burch notified local artists and vendors in a Thursday night Facebook post that the Stroll is being discontinued and will not happen in 2015.

Sidewalk Arts Stroll organizers Dianne Burch and Donna Castellano announced the discontinuation of the popular event in a Thursday, March 12, Facebook post.

"The Sidewalk Arts Stroll has had a great run in downtown Huntsville," Castellano and Burch wrote. "We have nothing but great memories from this experience. It's been a blast, but it's time to move on."

While the Stroll is no more, Downtown Huntsville Inc. is already working on a replacement event. CEO Chad Emerson said the new event will be called something other than the Stroll but stay true to the open-air arts market concept.

"We've agreed to keep it going at least this summer in some form," Emerson told AL.com Friday. "We hope to be able to provide more details soon."

Castellano and Burch said there are now enough fun, free, family-friendly events happening downtown to fill the void left by the Stroll, which was founded in 2006.

"The Stroll may be missed," the Facebook post said, "but we are confident the creative energy focused on downtown Huntsville will produce sustainable events."

Burch said stepping away from the Stroll will allow her to focus more on World of PawsAbilities, a nonprofit she founded to support animal rescue groups and promote responsible pet ownership. Castellano is equally busy as executive director of the Historic Huntsville Foundation.
