Hudson Opera House Exhibit, ‘No Parking: The Alleys and Garages of Hudson’

noparking_web_featured-470x260There’s an interesting photography exhibit at the Hudson Opera House right now. ‘No Parking: The Alleys and Garages of Hudson’ features three local artists, Lisa Durfee, William Hellermann, and Peter Spear, and their photographs that capture the hidden beauty in Hudson over the past 20 years.

“While major roads such as  Warren Street offer a panoply of architectural spectacle to enjoy, No Parking tells the story of those small streets that run parallel to the larger thoroughfares, and the hidden barns, garages, storehouses, and studios nestled along them.”

Hudson Opera House Winter Walk

Every year on the first Saturday in December, Warren Street becomes a winter wonderland for the Hudson Opera House Winter Walk. The street is closed to cars and people are invited to stroll up and down the street for the annual holiday celebration.

The fun begins this Saturday (December 1, 2012) at 5 pm with the Santa Parade and continues until the fireworks show begins at 8:15.

Here is some info from HudsonOperaHouse.org:

Winter Walk transforms the City of Hudson’s main commercial street into a festive thoroughfare with twinkling lights, brightly decorated shops, horse-drawn wagons offering rides, stilt walkers and marionettes, bagpipers and live reindeer. Look for Frosty the Snowman on the street, as well as Marley’s Ghost and Scrooge, the walking Grandfather Clock, the Tin Soldier, and a host of angels, snowflakes and elves of all sizes.

With a well-earned reputation as a premier Hudson Valley event, Winter Walk is unlike any other holiday festival. It takes place on the City of Hudson’s mile-long historic Warren Street, stretching from Front Street to 8th Street and spilling out to adjacent streets as well. It is well known for its quirky take on the holidays and for the diversity of entertainment provided.
