Hudson is a charming city on the western border of New York's Columbia County, located along the eastern banks of the Hudson River approximately two hours north of downtown Manhattan. The lovely city has become a major tourist destination since the late 20th century, home to delightful art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and nightlife destinations in its vibrant downtown district. Couples can peruse unique vendors and dealers at the Hudson Antiques Center and the English Antiques Center or explore preserved living history buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places within the city's Hudson Historic District. The district is a top area destination for LGBTQ couples, hosting one of upstate New York's most prominent Pride parades each year. Other annual special events include the Hudson Music Festival, New York state's largest annual free music festival.
