Hickory's Oktoberfest

Our annual Oktoberfest is the second weekend of October.

KidsFest:

The KidsFest area of Hickory Oktoberfest features loads of fun the whole family can enjoy. Kidfest represents the younger generation of Oktoberfesters while inviting the older generations there to guide them on their fun-filled way.

This year, KIDFEST will have DJ WILLY WOW back on the stage Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! The InterACTive Theater of Jef will be joining us as well as a performance from Pitch Perfect, and the trio Secret Agent 23 Skidoo! Come see Kristin’s Little Big Farm Petting Zoo, and enjoy the FREE Inflatables & More!

Castle of Cans:

It’s time again for our Annual Susan Coleman Castle of Cans Food Drive and We’re Celebrating 26 Years! This wonderful community campaign supports all of these agencies with one donation: The Corner Table in Newton, Eastern Catawba CCM, Exodus Homes, Greater Hickory CCM, The Family Care Center, Hickory Soup Kitchen, Salvation Army, and the Second Harvest Food Bank Hickory.
