Welcome To Hickory, NC

Experience Southern Charm and Hospitality in Hickory, NC

The community was developed in the west-central region of North Carolina. Henry Robinson arrived in the 1850s and constructed a tavern using hickory logs. He named the location Hickory Tavern. A decade later, Dolph Shuford established the first homestead. Hickory later became the headquarters for one of the oldest furniture manufacturing companies, which remains operational today. Popular local destinations include the Catawba Science Center, the Hickory Aviation Museum and the Hickory Furniture Mart.

Things To Do

In April, Hickory hosts the annual Hops Fest. More than 50 microbreweries attend the event to offer samples of their latest products. Guests also enjoy ongoing live entertainment and vendors offer water and foods.

For three days during the third weekend in September, Hickory hosts the annual Foot Candle Film Festival at Drendal Auditorium. Guests have the chance to see a number of independent films and participate in post-viewing discussions. The more than two dozen full-length and short films come from filmmakers around the world.

On the second weekend in October, the community celebrates the Hickory Apple Festival. The event takes place at the Mt. Pleasant Township Volunteer Fire Company and begins with a pancake breakfast followed by historical skill demonstrations and various children's events. There is also a pie-eating contest, ongoing live concerts and apple-themed arts and crafts.

Toward the end of October, the Hickory Neck Episcopal Church hosts their annual Fall Festival. There are inflatables for the kids along with a homemade BBQ or stew dinner. Handmade goods are exhibited inside and out. Various local businesses also exhibit their products and services while offering discounts.

The downtown area comes alive during the second weekend in October for the three-day Hickory Oktoberfest. Three stages offer continuous live entertainment ranging from Oompa bands to polka and rock n' roll. Two beer gardens provide the chance to sample traditional German beers. Children enjoy the carnival and rides. Shoppers browse through the arts and crafts displays. Hundreds of vendors also offer a wide selection of foods and merchandise."
