The North Hudson Pepper Festival starts Friday, August 20 and runs through Sunday, August 22, 2009 with most activities taking place at Pepper Fest Park in North Hudson. The three-day celebration honors the community’s Italian heritage and includes a carnival, parade, queen coronation, wide variety of food and many contests.
The Pepper Fest began in 1954 as a way to raise funds to build North Hudson Elementary School and has turned into an annual event to assist community organizations throughout the St. Croix Valley. Proceeds from the volunteer-run, non-profit festival are donated to local youth, school, community and service organizations.
