The 38th Hickory Oktoberfest is a three-day, outdoor festival on the second weekend in October! Having been co-founded by a German, Adolphus โDolphโ Shuford, Hickory has a long, proud German heritage. Home to the United States headquarters for several German companies and sharing a region-to-region partnership between Altenburger Land, Germany, and the four Greater Hickory Metro counties of Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, and Catawba, our connection to Germany has never left us.
Along with live music on two stages, we have Food Vendors, Craft Vendors, Beer and KidsFest. The KidsFest area 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! Come see Kristinโs Little Big Farm Petting Zoo, and enjoy the FREE Inflatables, Food Trucks, & More!
We are thrilled to announce the music lineup for the Main and Commscope Stages!
