Fiddle Fest Weekend
April 4-6, 2014
Fiddle Fest Weekend will be returning to Llano, Texas, the 1st weekend in April! Llano traditionally held a popular fiddle contest for twenty years - an established event that was held in early April and brought many talented fiddlers and music fans from Texas and beyond. The “Llano Fiddle Fest” group reintroduced the event in 2011, and it was hugely successful! Llano Fiddle Fest is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with event donations directed to charities and non-profit organizations. Our mission is to enrich and preserve the art of Texas style fiddling/music. A family-friendly event, the fiddle contest is part of Llano Fiddle Fest weekend.
