Nick Gilbert Way at Hudson’s Detroit is a brand-new pedestrian plaza in downtown Detroit that connects Woodward Avenue to Farmer Street, filled with festive holiday attractions and local vendors. Opened on November 6, 2025, the plaza features a giant illuminated teddy bear (a nostalgic nod to Hudson’s old Santa Bear tradition) and a season of free holiday programming through January 4, 2026.
