National Oldtime Fiddlers ContestŽ and Festival

The original and continuing purpose of the National Oldtime Fiddlers' ContestŽ is to help perpetuate the fiddling culture and history of pioneer America; to help develop a more genuine audience appreciation, understanding and participation; to preserve the oldtime fiddling tunes; to develop and encourage jam sessions and contests; to permanently record and display the histroy, relics and mementos of the art of oldtime fiddling; and to acknowledge the present-day fiddlers who are helping to preserve these traditional expressions. (And, to have a great time doing it!) Held each year during the third FULL week of June.
