Hudson Hall announces the 25th Anniversary of Winter Walk on Saturday, December 4, 2021!

Hudson’s most beloved celebration returns to its street-festival format with a focus on attractions that can be safely enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. Your favorite acts will be back, including roving costumed characters, street performers, carolers, horse-and-carriage rides, and a fireworks display at 8pm.

We also welcome the winners of the Winter Walk 25th Anniversary Artist Grant Program to the lineup.
