The Southeastern Fiddle Championship, simply known as ‘The Fiddle Fest,’ continues the tradition of celebrating West Alabama’s rich old-time and fiddle music heritage at Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa. This family-friendly annual event honors legendary Alabama fiddlers and aims to inspire a new generation of bluegrass and old-time musicians. The festival is supported by the Community Foundation of West Alabama and local sponsors to preserve this important part of regional musical history.
