The Berlin Fiddlers Convention is set to be return this week for its 32nd year of music, crafts and vendors.
The convention, scheduled for Sept. 20 to Sept. 22, is a free event hosted by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and features a weekend of bluegrass bands. On Friday, the first day of the series will welcome The Plate Scrapers from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., followed by The High and Wides from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
A competition in banjo, fiddle, mandolin, flat pick, and band categories is slated for Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday’s headliner, Rebecca Frazier, will perform from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The event will wrap up around 4:30 p.m. A Sunday gospel jam is also planned for Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the weekly farmers market on Main Street.
Local beer will be available for purchase during the weekend. Proceeds from the sales will help support the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and its events.
Berlin’s shops will be open during the music weekend, and vendors and artisans will be out as attendees enjoy the bluegrass tunes.
The event is chock-full of musical talent.
