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 our 20th Annual Colorado Fiddle Championships, January 7 & 8 2023!

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! Save $5 when you register before December 25, 2022!
