Sailing into Fall with Hickory's Music Series

By Iris Hartness, Maiden NC Mom and MacKid Guest Writer August 24, 2017


As the weather cools and school routines get back into full swing, a great place to reclaim a little family time is at the City of Hickory’s Sails Original Music Series, each Friday night in September from 6:30-8:30pm under the Sails on Union Square. The Sails’ stage hosts a variety of musical acts that appeal to many tastes -- everything from world music to bluegrass and rockabilly. Pack a picnic or pick up dinner on the go from many local restaurants in and around Union Square. Be sure to bring camping chairs, as public seating is limited.

Kids who can use a little freedom could bring their scooters or roller blades (don’t forget your helmet!) to roll around the less crowded areas. Or if your crew needs a music break, Lowes Foods City Park is one block away and easily within walking distance. Check our calendar for detailed concert information, and be sure to enjoy this great, free event during the fall season.

Sails on the Square is located at 246 Union Square NW in Downtown Hickory. Latest updates about the Sails Music Series can also be found on the Sails Original Music Series Facebook page.
