We invite you to enjoy our events this holiday season! Our Hudson Holiday events are made possible by the generous donations from area businesses and organizations with special recognition to the City of Hudson and the Hudson Area Home and Garden Club.   Window Decorating Contest Businesses throughout Hudson will be decorated and voted on by a select group of judges.

Light Up Hudson November 28, 7:00 p.m. Santa is escorted to Lakefront Park. With a wave of his wand, he illuminates the thousands of twinkling lights in the lavish holiday display along the St. Croix River. It promises to be a magical evening for everyone.    Buena Vista: A Stroll in the Park November 28 - February 9 Enjoy the twinkling lights dotting the shore line of the frozen St. Croix River all winter long.
