Welcome to the 2013 Hudson Elks Flag Day Parade

The Hudson Elks Lodge 787 and Flag Day Committee Wish to Thank Everyone for their continued support of our Flag Day Event

In the event of severe weather, the Parade may be rescheduled to the next day. We can tell you, though that this has only happened twice in 16 years! However, should this occur, the Elks' ceremonies WILL still take place, but will be moved to the lodge at the regularly scheduled time.

For a short explanation of what lies ahead:

  • The day begins at 9 AM with the opening of 7th Street Park, and the streets that line it, full of merchandise and food and craft fair vendors!
  • The popular band "Dusk Til Dawn" will play their music in the park.
  • The Elks will have their Flag Day Ceremony at the 7th Street Park at 11 AM. The parade kicks off at 2 PM!
  • Most Hudson merchants have their shops open for your shopping enjoyment!
  • The Waterfront Park will have rides, exhibits and food vendors galore! "The Olde News Band" will entertain you wth their great music after the parade.
  • Sky divers will jump from their planes and fireworks will light up the sky just after sundown. What a great way to end a perfect day!
