Join us for an authentic Hudson’s Holiday experience in the iconic Streets of Old Detroit! Begin the evening with a classic cocktail before enjoying a seated dinner prepared from Hudson’s original recipes - taken straight from the Detroit Historical Society Collection. After dinner, retire to the theater where we will screen Holidays at Hudson’s, a PBS documentary.
