History of Hudson Bandstand Committee
The Hudson bandstand was erected in the Hudson Green in 1976 in celebration of the country's bicentennial. Concerts were held in the bandstand that year, but there was little organization. In 1977, Anita Haines Exline (1919-2002) suggested that a committee be charged with formally scheduling a full summer concert series. Exline was granted $1000 from Hudson Township to get started. Since 1977, the Hudson Bandstand Committee plans the events and performances, chooses and auditions performers, and organizes the event publicity and fundraising. The Hudson Summer Music Festival runs every Sunday from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
