Fiddler’s Contest



Fiddler’s Contest Each year, on a Friday night and Saturday at the end of May, Athens holds a Fiddler’s Contest and Reunion event. Fiddler’s from across the greater Texas area come and play for a great crowd of people in their own lawn chairs. There’s also lots of carnival food or, my favorite, street tacos! One of the most charming parts of the festival is watching old men match up together under a huge tree and jam out on their guitars and fiddles while the wives are out of earshot playing bridge. It just screams old town Texas to me. This pet-friendly event is fun for the whole family, especially when the weather is nice! Bring your chair, cooler, cash, book, cards; fun awaits! Check out there Facebook Page for updated information about the upcoming year.

In 2020, the Fiddler’s Contest and Reunion event will be celebrating its 90th year in operation!
