Ashe County Arts Council is committed to preserving and honoring the musical heritage of our community, and what better way to do that than with a super weekend of music! Any proceeds from the Fiddlers Convention are used to support the Junior Appalachian Musicians Program or JAM.  JAM provides instruction at the Ashe Civic Center in fiddle, banjo and guitar for students in grades 3-8.

The 55th annual Fiddlers Convention will be held at Ashe County Park July 24-25, rain or shine.  The weekend will be filled with individual instrumental and band competitions with $4350 in prize money for the winners, a Friday evening concert, food, and good times for musicians and audience members alike.
