Hudson in November
Good time to visit
November offers the last comfortable antiquing weather before winter sets in. Crowds thin out after leaf season, making it ideal for serious collectors and bargain hunters.
Weather
November sees temperatures dropping steadily with the first frost usually arriving mid-month. Gray days become common, and the last leaves fall from the trees. Rain mixes with the first snow flurries.

November Tips
- •This is peak season for serious antique collectors - less tourist competition
- •Many shops start holiday decorating and sales
- •Thanksgiving weekend can be surprisingly busy with city escapees
All Months
May through June brings mild weather and blooming gardens without the summer crowds. September and October are peak season – the fall foliage along the Hudson River is spectacular, but expect higher prices and packed antique shops on weekends. Summer gets busy with city escapees, but the farmers market on Saturdays is worth braving the crowds. Winter can be harsh and many shops reduce their hours, though the town looks beautiful under snow. Avoid major holiday weekends unless you book months ahead – Hudson's limited hotel rooms fill up fast during peak times.
