Plan your weekend trip or day trip to Hickory to explore not only our outdoor adventures and culinary scene but we hope you will take a piece of Hickory home for the Holidays. 

Morganton features Pottery Studios, Hand-made Amish furniture, Specialty boutiques for men and women, and fun little shops you won’t find anyplace else.

The weekend of October 8 & 9 come out to Roaring River and Celebrate Oktoberfest in our German Pavilion. Music, games, brats & beer rule the day.

The Pisgah Loop through Pisgah National Forest and the Linville Gorge is one of those trips that will satisfy your adventurous spirit, take you to places you have never been and showcase the best of fall color.

With a family that works and drinks well together you are sure to find a place that feels like home and that is certainly true of the family owned and operated Warehouse Distillery.

Everyone can see the Linville Gorge from several vantage points on the eastern and western rims

Hart Square takes you back to a time where handcrafted and hard work was the way of life.

There are three big festivals coming up over the next two months that warrant a place on your calendar.

This year’s festival will have balloon rides, a car show, a bike show, a 5K race, a kid zone, food trucks and craft vendors, and entertainment every night.

This October marks the 37th Annual Festival where visitors walk amongst the village structures that have truly come to life. Tickets are on sale now for this truly one-of-a-kind festival.
