A new Singer/Songwriter stage has been added with music at 1:30 pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Kid’s will enjoy the Kidsfest area, located in the parking lot on the east side of Olde Hickory Train Station. Amusement rides and games offer a thrill for all ages. Kidfriendly entertainment happens each day on the Kidsfest Stage.
Parents and children alike will enjoy the fine craftspeople bringing handmade Arts & Crafts to Union Square Commons. Artisans will be selling items such as beautiful pottery, jewelry, glass, fabrics and wood crafting, just to name a few.
Commercial vendors will fill Second Street with a wide variety of merchandise ranging from sunglasses to handmade soaps to imported woodwork. When you need a break from the excitement, there will be over 70 different treats, goodies and other great foods offered by the many food vendors located in the Pepsi Food Court.
On Saturday morning, the Fourth Annual Oktoberfest Footrace will be held in Downtown Hickory. A 10k run begins at 8:00 a.m. and a 5K run/walk begins at 8:15 a.m. Participants may register from 6:00 to 7:30 am on October 11th at the finish line, in the parking lot across from City Hall, at the corner of Main Avenue and North Center Street.
