Music will flow continuously with performances from more than 100 musicians, drawn from around the state and ranging from polished professional to the youngest beginner.
Musicians with an instrument in hand are admitted free with one guest. Festival foods and the museum's ales will be offered at the main stage.
STAGE #1 The New Performers Stage
(Hosted by Heather Pennington & WNY Fiddle Kids)
This venue offers two full days of performance opportunities for our younger and/or newer fiddlers. Stage #1 will offer a supportive environment for students, new performers (of any age), and fiddlers who seek to enhance their skills. We will also be offering some special "Meet the Fiddler" presentations that will teach more about the fiddling tradition in New York State.
STAGE #2 The Main Stage
(Hosted by the Flint Hill Folk)
Our traditional open stage is for fiddlers ages 12 and over and their accompanists. Noted regional fiddlers will kick-off each hour while, as always, other performance times are scheduled on a first-come-first-served basis.
STAGE #3 The Exhibition Barn
(Hosted by the Fiddlers of the Genesee)
The museum's spacious agricultural barn will again be the setting for expanded performances by fiddler or dulcimer-oriented music clubs and bands.
STAGE #4 The Historic Village - Brooks Grove Church
This venue is located in the 19th-century historic village inside a restored church that seats 175 comfortably. The natural acoustics and open nature of the building will welcome groups and bands to perform "unplugged" and at their leisure.
