On Saturday, August 16, Hudson residents celebrated the 2025 edition of Journée Hudson Day by exploring the village’s many businesses and organizations, with activities and entertainment for all ages.
Attendees were able to explore eight dedicated entertainment zones throughout the village core, including the Fun Zone at Benson Park, the Market Zone at the community centre, and the Hudson Zone at town hall, along with the Artz Zone, Splash Zone, Music Zone, Auto Zone, and Fire Station Zone.
The Fun Zone offered multiple games, an obstacle course, a caricaturist, and an elaborate mini car course for children, while the Market Zone highlighted many local businesses and organizations welcoming residents and visitors.
The fan-favourite Hudson Auto Show returned to the Auto Zone at Saint-Thomas Park, showcasing imported and classic automobiles, while the Mike Feher (MF) Orchestra played for the crowd.
At the Fire Station Zone, the Hudson Fire Department opened its doors for demonstrations, toy firetruck races, and an air bounce obstacle course. Firefighters walked participants through their daily routines and gave families a closer look at the department’s trucks, gear, and emergency equipment.
