Long Island Fiddle Festival

The Long Island Traditional Music Association (LITMA) will be hosting their 23rd annual Fiddle Festival. The festival will be held on Sunday, August 26th at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook, NY.

The Long Island Traditional Music Association is a non-profit, all volunteer group of community musicians, dances, singers, and listeners who enjoy the music and dances of traditional music. Now traditional music is not only classical piano masterpieces. To these guys traditional music is jamming out to some bluegrass, cajun, jazz, and even Irish and Scottish music. Certainly not something you hear on the radio, but definitely something you’ll enjoy and move too! The group performs several concerts throughout the year in addition to this fiddle extravaganza, many of which are in a more intimate settings such as their own LITMA concert hall and area libraries.

The Long Island Fiddle Festival will feature4 stages, and 8 live performers. Now thats a lot of fiddle music!!

In addition to the live music the festival will also host several workshops and activities for kids.
