llano fiddle fest
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!
