SUMMARY:Hoppin’ John Fiddlers’ Convention
DESCRIPTION:Looking forward to beautiful early fall days at the Annual Hoppin’ John Fiddlers’ Convention on Thu\, Sep 17-Sat\, Sep 19 at the Shakori Hills Community Arts Center! This beloved regional event brings together families and music lovers for a unique old-time fiddlers’ convention. Performers compete in contests spanning a wide range of categories\, all culminating in the Old-Time\, Bluegrass\, and Non-Traditional Band Contests on Saturday evening. \nThe weekend also includes a Friday night concert\, showcases from a variety of performers\, music and dance workshops\, film screenings\, and plenty of great food and drink\, including local beer from bmc brewing. The Hoppin’ John Cook-Off is a festival highlight\, with a chance to taste some creative\, homemade dishes (registration opens Wed\, Jul 1\, 2026). This is a family-friendly event\, with plenty of crafts\, activities\, workshops\, and contests for kids of all ages.  \nThis event takes place outdoors. Vehicle and tent camping are available in designated areas. Rates for weekend and single-day admission\, as well as camping\, are available here. See more events at Shakori.  \nACCESSIBILITY \nAlthough situated on a rolling half-farm and in a wooded setting\, Shakori Hills is fairly navigable for those with disabilities. Please find some helpful information below and contact info@hoppinjohn.org with any further questions. A gravel road connects all of the musical stages. As it is a rolling hill property\, there are slight declines and inclines\, but nothing too steep. This main thoroughfare provides good (though slightly rugged) access to all the music and is very close to their food area\, as well as all the accessible camping and parking areas. \nMobility-impaired parking is available on a first-come\, first-served basis and is divided into Van-Accessible spaces and regular-width spaces. Please see the parking volunteers for directions and access. A valid state-issued DMV ADA placard or HD plate is required. They have two Mobility-Impaired Camping areas close to the accessible bathrooms. If interested in utilizing one of these sites\, please contact info@hoppinjohn.org before attending a festival to coordinate. \nPETS \nBringing 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.
