The Annual Berks Fiddle Fest will be held on Sunday, September 20th, 2026, at Fleetwood Community Park located at 334 West Main Street in Fleetwood, PA. We have partnered with The Friends of the Fleetwood Parks, a 501(c) (6) organization, with the mission of raising funds to improve and maintain amenities in the Fleetwood parks for community enjoyment. All profits from the Berks Fiddle Fest will go directly to this wonderful organization to help fulfill its mission.

A donation will get you an entire day of entertainment and much more. The gates open at 9:00 am with Main Stage activities starting at 10:00 am. The day starts with our traditional worship service, followed by a variety of Americana musical bands until 1:00 pm. This is followed by our all-ages Fiddle Competition, which is the main attraction of the Fiddle Fest and something you don’t want to miss. 

The Headliner this year is Nyke Van Wyk. Nyke is a talented violinist known for his innovative approach. With his signature style and captivating stage presence, Nyke has wowed audiences worldwide with his electrifying performances. Blending his classical and Celtic training with contemporary flair, Nyke brings a unique sound and energy to the violin world. Whether on stage, in the studio or in the classroom, Nyke’s passion for music and his violin continues to inspire and captivate audiences everywhere.

The Main stage is not the only area providing music filling the air at the Fiddle Fest. There is the Open Mic area hosted by Phil Stahl, workshops, our 3rd Scottish F.I.R.E. Fiddle Competition qualifier, the Durty Rotten Parrots roving around the grounds playing music, Children’s shows featuring Miss Maggie Sings!, and a lot of local musicians joining together in Jam groups all around the park. You are more than welcome to bring an instrument and join the jams or simply listen and enjoy!

Don’t worry about eating and drinking, you won’t go hungry or thirsty at the Fiddle Fest! Food and drink will be available to purchase. Hot dogs, burgers and drinks by The Friends of The Fleetwood Parks, plus locally made foods as well.

One of the keystone features of the Fiddle Fest is our crafter area. With 50-plus crafters and vendors featuring hand-made and musical items, you will want to browse this area to find a treasure to take home. We are once again featuring an area for young crafters, ages 18 and under, to display and sell their work. You will want to see what these young crafters can do and support them.

We invite you to bring lawn chairs and blankets and be part of both the experience and tradition of fiddle music and fiddle festivals in Berks County! 
We look forward to having you at the Berks Fiddle Fest! 

Come and celebrate America 250 with us!
