Welcome to the Festival!

The Festival is located at the Cheshire Fairgrounds!

Mark your calendars for next year (August 8-9,2008) and 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! We are adding a Fiddle Contest . . . keep checking for schedule and prize updates.

The 2007 Music Highlights CD is "in-the-works". 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".
