Bring the family and enjoy a uniquely American experience whose roots are buried deep in the Appalachian mountains and beyond. It’s a musical and cultural experience that will thrust you into a simpler time where families were bound by the music they created and the stories they told.

Mark your calendars for the 53rd Annual Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention! 

This annual event, where the Alabama State Fiddle Champion is crowned (along with the top winner in 14 other categories being crowned Alabama State Champions) brings some 200 contestants and an estimated 15,000 folk music fans to the grounds of historic Athens State University in Athens, Alabama the first full weekend of October each year.

In addition to the annual competitions, the 2019 musical entertainment lineup includes:

Thursday, October 3: Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper

Friday, October 4: Rickey Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder

Saturday, October 5: Bradley Walker & Lonesome River Band

Also at the convention, area craftsmen display their arts and crafts at the annual arts and crafts fair held in conjunction with the musical competition, offering unique and custom-made souvenirs. There is something for everyone at the Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention!
