Join us for the 2026 Hudson Holiday Stroll!
Saturday, December 5th, 2026 from 3:00 -7:00 pm
Activities along Main St. Hudson & nearby areas
Enjoy a winter wonderland as downtown Hudson comes alive with festive fun. Rain, snow, or shine, we promise an enchanting experience for the whole family. This event is FREE for the community thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. Stop by Hudson Town Hall for free photos with Santa, meet and shop with local vendors, enjoy live music, and pick up an event map with schedules and location details.
Enjoy a leisurely sleigh ride on horse-drawn carriages throughout the event, visit our adorable petting zoo at Main Street Bank, and (weather-permitting) watch aerial cirque performances. Treat yourself to delicious bites from local restaurants and food trucks, including favorites like Rail Trail Flatbread Co., Welly’s Restaurant, Kith & Kin, and Café 641. Engage in festive activities, shop for unique gifts, and participate in fun-filled games and crafts. Explore offerings from the Hudson Girl Scouts, Earth & Aerial Yoga, Serendipity, and many more local businesses and organizations throughout downtown.
Be sure to visit our non-profit booths and help us share the joy this season by supporting community donation efforts. Local scouts will be collecting winter items for veterans, animal rescues will be introducing adoptable dogs, and many more organizations will be on site to help spread holiday cheer.
Wander through beautifully decorated streets, enjoy live entertainment, and soak in the joyful atmosphere that makes the Hudson Holiday Stroll so special!

A Letter From Our Committee Chair
Welcome!
The Holiday Stroll is one of Hudson’s most cherished traditions... a night when our community comes together to celebrate the season, support local businesses, and experience the warmth and excitement that make Hudson such a special place.
Each year, our committee works alongside local businesses, community organizations, volunteers, performers, sponsors, and the Town of Hudson to create an evening filled with festive activities and memorable moments for visitors of all ages.
For 2026, we are excited to build upon everything our community loves about the Stroll while introducing new performances, expanded food truck offerings, additional lighting and displays, and a few surprises along the way. We are especially looking forward to growing the Town Hall lighting ceremony and bringing even more seasonal magic and a little extra “wow factor” to Downtown Hudson.
An event of this size is only possible because so many people choose to be part of it. Whether you attend with your family, open your business for the evening, perform, volunteer, host an activity, participate as a food vendor, or support the event through sponsorship, you help make the Holiday Stroll possible.
On behalf of the Hudson Business Association and the entire Holiday Stroll Committee, thank you for celebrating with us. We cannot wait to welcome you to Downtown Hudson for another unforgettable evening!
Warmly,
Leia Owen
Holiday Stroll Committee Chair
President, Hudson Business Association
