Llano Fiddle Fest

llano fiddle fest

Llano 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. A local group of Texas fiddle enthusiasts 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. Tentative Schedule of Events for 2015

Terry Morris, First Grand Champion

Wes Westmoreland, 2014 & 2013 Grand Champion

Robin Chiesa, Air Fiddle Grand Champion 2011-2013
