Sponsored by the Indy Irish Fest, 9 Irish Brothers Traditional Irish Pub, Claddagh Irish Pubs, and the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the competition is open to fiddlers of all ages living in Indiana. The competition will take place on Saturday, June 14th at the Garfield Park Arts Center beginning at 10:00 am and continuing until noon or until all the competitors have played. After the competition, we are hosting a Q & A on fiddling techniques and styles with our judging panel and performances by the judges, competition winners, and friends. Food trucks will have lunch for sale in the parking lot between the competition and the announcement of the winners!
Competition requirements and additional information can be found on the Irish Arts Academy website.
Our friends at The Brockway Pub have offered to sponsor the entrance fees of five fiddlers in the competition. Please contact The Irish Arts Academy for more information.
