At the end of 2021, a group of Washington County Fairground board members came together with the town of Abingdon, the director of The Crooked Road and local bluegrass enthusiasts to began discussing the possibility of a Fiddler's Convention in Washington County.  The idea of talented musicians, camping and good food, nestled on a beautiful piece of property sounded like a fantastic idea. Not knowing if we would have 100 people or 1,000 our first year, we ended up having 120 competitors, 2,700 spectators from 11 different states.  It was a fun weekend and made us excited to keep growing. 
 

The Washington County Fairgrounds is a 501C-3, all proceeds of this event will be used for capital improvement projects for the Fairgrounds Property with the goal of bringing more events and opportunities to Washington County, VA, and our region. Thank you for being part of the 3rd Annual Fiddler’s Convention. We hope you will enjoy your time and we also hope you will give us any feedback as we are still new, but we are determined to have one of the best events in Southwest Virginia.  Thank you to those who have sponsored. Thank you to those who stepped up and volunteered.  We truly appreciate each one of you.
