Fiddle & Jam Weekend 2026!

Mark your calendar! Fiddle & Jam Weekend is Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7. 

This year our focus is Women in Fiddling and we have two guest artists: Betse Ellis and Gaye Harrison! 

The festivities will all be held in Urbana at C4A, the Rose Bowl Tavern, and other Urbana locations pending.  Click here to download a full schedule! 

Thanks to Urbana Arts and Culture for helping fund LOTS of free events, including old-time community jams and a Saturday evening concert. We will have some great workshops this year with attention on tunes collected from women fiddlers from the midwest! 

Free events including jams, concerts, and dances do not require a registration. Workshops require registration and a small fee but don’t let that deter you; scholarships are readily available by mentioning it on the registration form!
