Welcome to the Festival!

Hip, hip, hooray! Its almost time for another wonderful weekend!

Step back into the past with a one-of-a-kind, old-fashioned family festival: the seventh annual Blueberry Fiddle Festival, organized by Richmond’s Immaculate Heart of Mary School. The festival is growing steadily as people who are looking for a truly family oriented event find out about us -- and then tell their friends.

Entertainment will include performances by New Hampshire’s Spirit Fiddle and the Fiddling Thomsons as well as other local talent. Enjoy the music while you savor a slice of homemade blueberry pie and cool off with ice cream from a local dairy.

Games, crafts, car show, and other activities provide fun for all ages: Win a sack race, admire and vote for that special antique car, find the perfect gift among the work of local artisans, place the winning bid on a blueberry cheesecake, boo the villain of the melodrama, dance with the Blueberry Man, watch the little ones sing and play, or take home a gold medal!

The Blueberry Fiddle Festival is easy to get to at the Cheshire Fairgrounds, Swanzey, NH. Admission is FREE; parking is a one-time $5.

For more information, browse this Web site or call 603-239-6495. See you there!

The 2008 contest winners are now posted, and pictures of the melodrama and musicians are up. A special "Thank you" to Jo-Ann Gerde for her beautiful photography (she took most of the pictures in '07 & '08).

Don't forget to visit our store for great blueberry items! We have now "re-stocked the shelves."
