Hoppin’ John Fiddlers’ Convention
September 11 - September 13
Looking forward to beautiful early fall days at the Annual Hoppin’ John Fiddlers’ Convention Thu, Sep 11-Sat, Sep 13! Planning has begun, and they are working to bring you another great year of the unique blend of old-time fiddlers’ conventions and traditional music festival that has become Hoppin’ John. Tickets go on sale Sun, Jun 15, 2025. Rates for weekend and single-day admission, as well as camping, can be found here.
Details for this year’s festival are TBD, but there are always workshops, showcases, dances, contests (including the Hoppin’ John Cook-Off), family activities, and, of course, great music! Hosted annually at the Shakori Hills Community Arts Center.
PETS
Bringing your dog to Hoppin’ John is highly discouraged. However, your furry friends are allowed if they are contained on a leash at all times. You must pay the dog admission price ($10) for each dog. They reserve the right to ask you and your dog to leave if he or she is behaving badly or they are not leashed/contained. You must clean up after your dog. Dogs over 20 pounds may not venture from your campsite.
