“I’d rank your contest right now with the very best in the country! Maybe the best location, certainly one of the biggest audiences and probably the most fun. I expect a lot of folks from Texas will be coming up again.”

John Stuart Fryer – Director of the Texas State Championship

The 22nd Annual Fiddle Festival encompasses ALL of the Downtown area which includes the Historic Area and the modern neighbor Branson Landing.

The contest with prelims on Saturday and  finals on Sunday will be held at Branson Landing “On the Banks of Lake Taneycomo”

Branson Landing will also sponsor a “Big Kick Off” on Friday night with a “BIG SMITH” concert at 8:00pm

The Festival will be held in the Historic District which has hosted the event for 22 years!

In Historic Downtown Branson we will offer Arts and Craft Vendors, Community Sponsors, Food Vendors a Children’s Area with pony rides, inflatable and crafts for the kids! Entertainment all day Saturday and Sunday and a genuine Square Dance on Saturday night beginning at 7:00pm.
