Spooky season is here— and Hudson is one of the best places on earth to enjoy all the thrills and chills of Halloween!

With our historic streets and Victorian architecture, Hudson is the perfect backdrop for everyone’s favorite spooky and festive holiday.

Start the day on Sunday, October 29 at the Ghostly Gallop— a fun run and 5k race in support of the Hudson Area Library.

One of the most popular Halloween events in Hudson is our annual Hudson Halloween Parade and Costume Contest, happening that afternoon from 2pm.

Warren St. fills with ghosts, goblins, and superheroes of all ages. The parade begins at Seventh Street Park and winds its way down Warren Street— this year, the costume contest will be held at Basilica Hudson (110 S Front St.)

In addition to the parade, there are a number of other Halloween events happening throughout Hudson. Some of these events include:

• Trick-or-treating: Many businesses in Hudson participate in trick-or-treating on the Sunday before Halloween. Look for their spooky whale emblem outside their storefront to know that they are participating!
