Hello Huntersville is an art and music festival that highlights local and regional area artists and musicians. The event was originally designed in 1993 to shine a light on local businesses and that year included a forum for Board of Commissioner candidates. The first festival committee members were Joyce Reid (chair), Bill Bialosky, Melanee Brock, Carl Cartner, Rick Eades, Eddie Ferguson, Linda Gaffney, Walt Neil, Cheryl Roberts, Ree Taylor and Charles Reid.
