ANNOUNCEMENT – THE GRAND MASTER FIDDLER CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO A TWO- DAY EVENT FORMAT FOR 2025.The competition again returns to the Factory at Franklin - but we have a gained an additional new sponsor and venue. The Mockingbird Theater will be the venue for the Youth Competition on Saturday NOV 8. The Open Competition (both Preliminaries and Championship) will complete on Sunday NOV 9 in the Turner Theater (same as 2024).
The Mockingbird Theater is located just outside the Turner Theater across a grassy area (where many of the children in attendance last year played). That area will also be turned into a JAM Session venue - complete with food and drink vendors suitable for All ages! You can expect food, drinks (non-alcohol and alcohol), local Tennessee merchants and A LOT more. PLUS - there is no "time limit" for jamming - play or listen all day or all night, Saturday and Sunday! We are Very Excited about this and owe our thanks to Will Jordan (owner of the Mockingbird Theater) for making this happen.
The 54th Annual Grand Master Fiddler Championship will be held on Saturday and Sunday November 8 and 9, 2025 at the Mockingbird Theater and the Turner Theater in the Factory at Franklin. Contestants from all over the world will be competing for the Champion titles in Youth and Open categories. The contest is Free to attend. There is no entry fee and parking is free.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS - SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NOVEMBER 8 and 9, 2025 – at The Mockingbird Theater and the Turner Theater in the Factory at Franklin (same venue as 2024).
(Note: Due to loss of funding from our West Virginia sponsor, the Traditional contest will not be held. We hope to bring it back when funding is available.)
