Colorado Oldtime Fiddlers’ Association

Welcome! The Colorado Oldtime Fiddlers’ Association (COTFA) is dedicated to promoting and preserving the traditional American art form of old-time fiddling. We sponsor and support fiddle contests across Colorado, including the Colorado Fiddle Championships; provide fiddle and guitar workshops; sponsor square dances; hold jam sessions; and support community outreach programs, including the El Sistema music program.

We are thrilled to be back at the National Western Stock Show for the Annual Colorado Fiddle Championships, January 6 & 7 2024!

Earlybird registration opens November 1st! Save $5 when you register before December 25, 2023!
