What’s Happening This Weekend?
Welcome to the Hickory Buzz!
If you’ve ever said, “I wish I had known about that event,” you’re not alone—and that’s exactly why the Hickory Buzz was born.
As the organizers behind popular events like the Hickory Christmas Show, the Hickory Women’s Expo, and the Hickory Home & Garden Show, we know how fun and meaningful local events can be.
But we’ve also felt the frustration of missing out simply because we didn’t hear about something in time. While there are plenty of great local resources, we saw the need for one joyful, centralized hub that brings it all together.
So, we’ve created the Hickory Buzz—a weekly newsletter and website dedicated to celebrating everything happening in the Hickory Unifour area, including Catawba, Burke, Caldwell, and Alexander counties.
