The Historical Association of Catawba County and the North Carolina Pottery Center are hosting the 28th Annual Catawba Valley Pottery & Antiques Festival on Friday, March 28th and Saturday, March 29th, 2025 at the Hickory Metro Convention Center in Hickory, North Carolina.

The Saturday show will welcome the public from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM and will offer buying opportunities, pottery demonstrations, and a lecture by George & Kay Meyer discussing Early American Face Jugs! Saturday tickets may be purchased online and at the door.

The goal of the CVPAF is to bring together traditional potters and dealers to create a quality show that will celebrate our region's pottery heritage, one of North Carolina's most treasured cultural resources. The mission of the CVPAF is to foster an educational event where the public may learn about traditional North Carolina pottery, within the wider context of Southern pottery, and to provide an opportunity to purchase, collect, and study this unique cultural resource through contact with working potters and knowledgeable pottery dealers.
