Colorado Fiddle Championships

We are thrilled to be back at the National Western Stock Show for our 20th Annual Colorado Fiddle Championships, January 11 & 12, 2025! The contest is annually held the first weekend in the Beef Palace Auction Arena at the National Western Complex.  The Colorado Fiddle Championships draws nationally recognized fiddlers, including previous Grand Champions of the National Oldtime Fiddlers contest, Bob Wills Fiddle Festival & Contest, Texas State Championships/Fiddlers Frolics and Grand Masters Champions.

We are thrilled to share that our 2025 judges panel include Katie Elmore, Tonya Hopkins and Katrina Nicolayeff!!

For the seventh year, we are offering a Bob Wills Swing Fiddle division! This exciting division has been officially sanctioned by the Bob Wills Heritage Foundation Inc., which seeks to preserve and promote Bob Will’s legacy through publications, recordings, educational outreach, events – all avenues to share the music and story of this American innovator and artist. Click here for the Bob Wills rules.

There will be a judged guitar accompanist division. We are proud and honored to have Jake Jabs of American Furniture Warehouse sponsor this division.

2025 Colorado Fiddle Championships Registration will open on October 1, 2024!
