Things to do in Calhoun County, Alabama

By Jaret Prater, Founder of Hollr · Updated October 11, 2026

Calhoun County sits in northeast Alabama. Anniston is the county seat, Oxford and Jacksonville are the other cities most people know, and smaller communities like Piedmont, Weaver, Alexandria and Ohatchee round it out. This guide is organised the way people actually look for something to do: this weekend, today, with kids, for free, by season, by venue.
