🏆🎻 Honoring Excellence at Carolina Hills Fiddle Fest 🎻🏆

We’re proud to present two special All-Around Best of Fest awards again this year, recognizing outstanding musicianship, heart, and spirit across the weekend’s competitions.

🏆 The Doris Rigby Memorial Award – All-Around Best of Fest in the Adult Division
🏆 The Mansfield Prevette Memorial Award – All-Around Best of Fest in the Youth Division

These awards are given to the individuals with the highest overall score of the day in any individual category — so if you’re competing solo, you’re automatically eligible!

Both awards were locally crafted by The Laser Forge in Wilkesboro and honor the memory of two cherished members of our music community.

We’re looking forward to seeing this year’s talent shine! ✨

🐶🎻 FAQ: Can I bring my dog to Carolina Hills Fiddle Fest?

Yes! Leashed, well-trained dogs are welcome at the festival!
We just ask that you keep your pup close, clean up after them, and be mindful of the crowd and music volume. 🎶🐾

Let’s keep it fun and safe for everyone—two-legged and four-legged friends alike!
