HudsonGoing

HudsonGoing is an online platform and community focused on connecting people with local events, activities, and experiences in the Hudson Valley region of New York. Launched in 2013, the website serves as a digital guide for residents and visitors seeking curated recommendations for dining, entertainment, outdoor adventures, and cultural events. It emphasizes supporting small businesses, local artisans, and independent operators within the area.

The platform operates through a combination of user-generated content and expert-curated listings. Users can browse event listings, read reviews, and discover hidden gems, while contributors—often local influencers or business owners—share updates on promotions, seasonal offerings, and special occasions. HudsonGoing also features a "Going" section, where users can find last-minute activities, pop-up events, and spontaneous gatherings.

Beyond event listings, HudsonGoing promotes sustainability and community engagement by encouraging visitors to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations. The site includes sections dedicated to seasonal activities, such as hiking, winery tours, and holiday markets, as well as practical guides for navigating the region. It also collaborates with local partners to host virtual events, workshops, and webinars, particularly during periods when in-person gatherings were limited.

HudsonGoing is accessible via its website and mobile app, offering filters to refine searches by category, location, and date. The platform has grown to include coverage of neighboring areas, expanding its reach beyond the traditional Hudson Valley boundaries. While primarily focused on the U.S., its content is tailored to appeal to both domestic and international travelers interested in the region’s natural beauty, arts scene, and culinary culture.
