Welcome to the Festival!

Only three weeks until the festival!

Can't afford to take the family to Disney World this year? Well, you can afford to join us for for two unforgettable days of grand old-fashioned family fun in rural New Hampshire at the Sixth Annual Richmond Blueberry Fiddle Festival. Admission is FREE, with only a one-time parking fee of $5, so you can't possibly get a better deal. Wholesome food at unbelievably low prices will be available, but feel free to bring a picnic. Mark your calendars for Friday and Saturday, August 8 & 9. We are adding a Fiddle Contest . . . keep checking for schedule and prize updates. The festival is held at the Cheshire Fairgrounds.

The 2007 Music Highlights CD will be available at this year's festival. It will be a wonderful memento of a beautiful day! 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. The music was great; the food, delicious; the melodrama, hilariously entertaining; the antique & classic cars, bright and shiny; the auction, lively; the weather, beautiful! THANK YOU to everyone who came: musicians, vendors, audience, volunteers, sponsors . . . We couldn't have done it without you!

The Blueberry Fiddle Festival is easy to get to at its new location: the Cheshire Fairgrounds, Swanzey, NH. See you there!

Don't forget to visit our store for great blueberry items! We had a glitch with the store; thank you for your patience while we "re-stock the shelves".
