For the 29th year, Hudson’s Winter Walk will usher in the holiday season with a street festival bursting with joy and wintery magic!
Bands, circus performers, dancers, choruses, costumed characters, fireworks, street food vendors, petting zoos, horse and carriage rides, holiday lights and decorations, fantastic late-night shopping – all this and more will animate Hudson’s Warren Street as Winter Walk comes to life again this year!
We’ll be updating this site regularly with details for participants and attendees as the night takes shape - stay tuned!
