It’s the moment children who are young and old have been waiting for all year!
The park is dark but there is a hum of excitement as people gather and share candy canes and hot chocolate waiting for the program to begin on November 25th. It’s coming together to share traditions of reading the Christmas story, singing carols and Santa arrives and Lights the Park with millions of twinkling lights! There is a sense of magic at the first blink of twinkling Christmas lights and that magic will happen at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park.
Evenings set amongst the softly lit trees of the park, joy and laughter from the ice skating rink, it’s all available for you throughout the holiday season.

We are eager to share with you all that is new! An added benefit is that all proceeds go to support The Hudson Library, our beautiful community library. Come see us soon!
Known as the “Cheers” of Bookstores, the Bookworm is affiliated with the Hudson Library: all books are donated; all staff are volunteers; and all funds go to help support the library.
