Celebrate Hudson Food & Drink Guide

Don't Forget Downtown
The festival food lineup is only part of the story. Downtown Hudson's restaurants, bars, cafés and bakeries will be open right in the middle of the action.
Stop for lunch before you start exploring, take an afternoon break, grab dinner after the downtown festival wraps at 5:00 PM or stick around for the 5:00–7:00 PM After-Party.
Celebrate Hudson is one of downtown's busiest days of the year, so restaurants may have longer waits than usual. Give yourself time, be patient with staff and consider trying somewhere new if your first choice is especially busy.
Beer Garden
The Avidia Bank/South Street Beer Garden is open from 1:00–7:00 PM. Beer and wine are available for purchase within the designated Beer Garden area.
Alcohol must remain within the designated Beer Garden area; it is not an open-container festival throughout downtown.
