Tazwell County Fiddlers Convention
July 11 - July 12
The Tazwell County Fiddlers Convention is set for July 11 – 12, 2025
Each summer, in the cool mountain air of Southwest Virginia, the timeless sounds of Appalachian music rise once again at the Tazewell County Fiddlers’ Convention in Tazwell, VA. On July 11–12, 2025, the Historic Crab Orchard Museum’s Pioneer Park will come alive with fiddles, foot-stomping rhythms, and a community that knows the deep value of tradition.
Now in its 22nd year, the convention is more than a music event—it’s a living thread of culture, woven into the fabric of the region. Hosted by the Historic Crab Orchard Museum, this gathering invites musicians, families, and music lovers to celebrate the soul of the mountains through spirited competition, heartfelt performances, and spontaneous jam sessions under the stars.
The atmosphere is equal parts festival and family reunion. Along side the music,visitors can enjoy Appalachian crafts, food vendors serving local fare, and old-fashioned flatfoot dancing. It’s a weekend rich with connection—where generations come together, instruments in hand, to honor the music that shaped them.
