Hickory – Oktoberfest is Hickory’s signature festival and this year will be our 35th annual celebration of Hickory’s German heritage. The three-day festival is attended by approximately 100,000 people from all across the region with a little something for everyone. There are three stages of live entertainment featuring German polka music, as well as a wide variety of music genres including original compositions from aspiring musicians.

Also available are thirty or more food vendors cooking a wide selection of tasty foods ranging from traditional German favorites to a variety of modern classics.
