This unique event is a favorite of all who love old-time music. Scores of West Virginia's master fiddlers, pickers, and singers gather, along with hundreds of local folks and visitors for a weekend of fun, packed with jam sessions throughout the weekend, informal concerts, and renewal of friendships.

On Friday night, October 29, the Fiddlers' Reunion kicks off with a Halloween Square Dance at 8:00pm. (Costumes are encouraged but not required.) Caller will be Lou Maiuri with music provided by the October Old-Time Week staff. Admission is $8 to the general public; October Old-Time Week students dance free. D&E students who attend this dance will receive convocation credits.

On Saturday, October 30, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, the Fiddlers' Reunion events center around a concert stage in the lounge of the Hermanson Center. All day you will enjoy the music of a series of performances by invited old-time master fiddlers and younger old-time musicians from all over West Virginia. A freestyle clogging and flatfooting contest will be held on the stage beginning at 4:00 pm. Cash prizes will be awarded. Exhibits and sales by instrument and food vendors will be nearby. Throughout the day, tune and song swaps feature traditional singers from all over the region, and jam sessions go on far into the night. Admission is free.

The festivities end on a high note with a Gospel Sing on Sunday morning, October 31, 10:00-11:30am, in the Hermanson Center Lobby. Come sing with us.
