Fiddlers’ Reunion

This unique event is a favorite of all who love old-time music. Scores of West Virginia’s master fiddlers, pickers, and singers gather, along with hundreds of local folks and visitors for a weekend of fun, packed with jam sessions throughout the weekend, informal concerts, and renewal of friendships.

On Friday night, November 2, the Fiddlers’ Reunion kicks off with a Halloween Square Dance at 8:00 pm. (Costumes are encouraged but not required.) Live music will be provided by the October Old-Time Week staff.

On Saturday, November 3, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, the Fiddlers’ Reunion events center around a concert stage in the lounge of the Hermanson Campus Center. All day you will enjoy the performances of invited old-time master fiddlers and younger old-time musicians from all over West Virginia.

A freestyle clogging and flatfoot dancing contest will be held on the stage beginning at 4:00 pm. Cash prizes will be awarded. Exhibits and sales by instrument and food vendors will be nearby. Throughout the day, tune and song swaps feature traditional singers from all over the region, and jam sessions go on far into the night. Admission is free.

The Augusta Store will be open from 10 am until 5 pm in its new location across from the auditorium.

Sunday morning the festivities end on a high note with a participatory Gospel Sing on at 10:30 am, in the Hermanson Campus Center lounge. Come sing with us!
