Welcome to the 6th Annual Taste Of Hudson

The Taste of Hudson is returning for its 6th year to historic Downtown Hudson, Ohio for a two-day celebration of food and fun. Sunday and Monday, September 5 & 6, 2010 will be another Labor Day weekend to remember as you leisurely stroll amongst acres of delectable food, music, entertainment, fine arts, family and children's fun, luxury cars and the great specialty and boutique shops and stores that make downtown Hudson such a unique experience. The 2009 Taste of Hudson attracted over 30,000 food and fun loving patrons, making The Taste one of the biggest, and most successful events ever held in the entire region. Join us this Labor Day Weekend and experience The Taste. Please make your plans to visit our community during 2010 Taste of Hudson. Experience the best of the Western Reserve!

Co-presented by Akron Children's Hospital, Summa Health System, and Acme Fresh Market, the Taste of Hudson benefits the Summit County Safe Kids Coalition, Leadership Hudson, and numerous area charities. Through the Taste of Hudson and the Safe Kids Coalition, proceeds will go to many wonderful organizations that promote and implement strategies to prevent childhood injuries through community awareness. $135,000 dollars have been donated to numerous charities by TOH since 2005.
