Old-Time
Fiddlers Reunion

 
October 31-November 2, 2008
 


This unique event is a favorite of all who love old-time music. Scores of West Virginia's master fiddlers, pickers, and singers gather, along with hundreds of local folks and visitors for a weekend of fun, packed with jam sessions throughout the weekend, informal concerts, and renewal of friendships.

On Friday night, the Fiddlers Reunion kicks off with a Halloween square dance. (Costumes are encouraged but not required.)

On Saturday, the events center around a concert stage in the lounge of the Hermanson Center. You will enjoy the music of a series of performances by  invited old-time musicians from all over West Virginia.  And a freestyle clogging and flatfooting contest will be held on the stage in the afternoon. Exhibits and sales by instrument vendors will be nearby. Throughout the day, tune and song swaps feature traditional singers from all over the region, and jam sessions go on far into the night.

The festivities end on a high note Sunday morning with a Gospel sing.
