Each year, on the first Saturday in December, the town of Hudson hosts a Winter Walk celebration to kick off the holiday season.

Most of the stores and galleries use Winter Walk to premier their holiday-inspired decorated store front windows, and stay open later than usual.

Winter Walk 2017 begins at 5pm outside Hudson Hall with Harmony Project Hudson choristers welcoming Santa Claus in his horse-drawn wagon, before helping him to settle into in Hudson Hall’s West Room to greet visitors and listen to children’s holiday wishes. Santa’s elves will distribute a free, gift-wrapped book to every child! While waiting to meet Santa, families can enjoy a warm cuppa courtesy of Harney and Sons Tea in the Common Council Room, or view SEE ME LIKE THIS, an exhibition of photographic portraits created by Valerie Shaff with the young women of Perfect 10 Hudson, on view in the Center Hall Gallery until January 21 .

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.
