Candlelight Stroll - 2025
Wagon rides through Lakefront Park aglow with luminary candles set the mood for this holiday event. Festively decorated shops and bistros greet you with the sights and sounds of the season. Tasty treats tempt your senses while restaurants showcase the best of holiday dining. Enjoy live dance performances by the Phipps Junior Dance Company in the lobby of the Phipps at 6:00 and 6:30 p.m., and stop by their holiday bake sale for festive treats. And discover window after window showcasing Helmer Dance Studio's Holly Doll dancers, as they pose as live mannequins in downtown Hudson’s storefront windows.
