When one business gets involved, it makes a difference. When an entire community of businesses gets involved together, it changes everything.​

That's the ripple effect of the Hudson Area Chamber—every event, sponsorship, and connection adding up to something bigger than a business could build alone.​

As Maria Machtemes, Senior Vice President of Retail Banking at Citizens State Bank, shares: "In a community like Hudson, membership isn't just about promotion. It's about building awareness, credibility, and trust through consistent involvement and presence."​

One business's presence builds trust. A community of businesses showing up together builds momentum—and invests in a Hudson that's stronger to live in, work in, and grow in.​

This is the power of presence.​
This is the power of collective impact.​
This is the power of community.​

Behind every thriving business in Hudson, there's another business leader who offered advice, made an introduction, or showed up to help.​

That's the strength of a Chamber membership—more than a network, it's a group of people genuinely invested in each other's success.​

As Maria Machtemes, Senior Vice President of Retail Banking at Citizens State Bank, shares: "I've met so many talented and passionate individuals who are committed to supporting one another and helping our community thrive. The relationships built through the Chamber create a spirit of collaboration that makes Hudson's business community truly special."​

The best business relationships are built one conversation, one introduction, one favor at a time.​

This is the power of collaboration.​
This is the power of relationships.​
This is the power of business.​

The Spirit of the St. Croix Art Festival is the perfect place to discover one-of-a-kind creations you'll be proud to give (or keep for yourself), like Yvonne Thevenin’s fiber creations. Every purchase supports an independent artist and celebrates the creativity and craftsmanship behind their work.

Come explore original artwork from 80 juried artists while enjoying live music, artist demonstrations, interactive activities, and food trucks in beautiful Lakefront Park.

This event is hosted by the Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau in partnership with the Phipps Center for the Arts.

While you'll discover beautiful paintings from talented artists like Shaunna Newton and explore original work from 80 juried artists, the Spirit of the St. Croix Art Festival is also an invitation to get creative yourself. Enjoy hands-on art activities for both adults and children, relax with a coloring project, or try your hand at painting while listening to live music and enjoying seasonal eats and drinks.

Artists of all ages (and abilities) welcome!

Congratulations to our August Brand Champion, North Hudson Pepper Fest!

The North Hudson Pepper Festival started in 1954 to help raise money for building North Hudson Elementary and to honor the area’s Italian roots. Over the years, it has grown into a celebration for the whole community, supporting many non-profits in the St. Croix Valley. Each year, volunteers run the event and donate the proceeds to local youth, schools, community, and service organizations.

Members of the Pepper Fest Royal Court help out at Hudson Area Chamber events throughout each year. They serve in several roles, from assisting with children’s activities at the Hudson Community Expo and the Spirit of the St. Croix Art Festival to volunteering at the Hudson Christmas Tour of Homes during the Friday Dazzle Tour.

Congratulations to the Pepper Fest planning committee for putting on another excellent event this year!

· Passionate and Supportive
