NEW INFORMATION ABOUT OUR 2022 EVENT:

This year’s event will be a combination of the traditional live audience plus the entire contest will be livestreamed. This year we have brought back crowd favorites that include the Swing Fiddling 17 and Under, Swing Fiddling 18 and Over, and the Twin Fiddling. Also returning will be the Certified Showcase that compete for, Best Female and Male Entertainer, Best Costume, and Fanciest Fiddler. We have added two new divisions the On-Line Youth (for ages 17 and under) and On-Line General (for ages 18 and over).  These are the only two contests to be played from someplace other than Weiser.

WATCHING THE CONTEST:

You may watch this year’s event in-person at Weiser High School, on YouTube, and from the National Oldtime Fiddlers Contest and Festival’s Facebook page.  

• In addition to watching in-person, will be providing a high-quality live stream of our contest. You will be able to enjoy the contest in-person, or from the safety and comfort of your homes. Please donate during the show to help us with our expenses.

FRIENDS & FAMILY FAN CLUB:

We want to keep honoring the tradition of cheering for your friends and family members. Up to 10 “Fan Club” members will be allowed to enter behind the fiddler and sit side-stage. “Fan Club” members must follow the fiddler out as soon as that fiddler has finished their round and exit the building with that fiddler.
