Join hundreds of musicians and music lovers to celebrate the 96th Annual Old Fiddler’s Picnic at Hibernia County Park on Saturday, Aug. 9, in Coatesville.
This beloved Chester County summer tradition brings together professional and amateur musicians for a day of fellowship and tunes.
“Old Fiddler’s Picnic is a celebration of music and a reunion of friends that fills the park with sounds that linger on for days to come,” said Katie Cook, Chester County Program and Events Coordinator. “Where words fail, music speaks, and in this field, every beat becomes a shared heartbeat.”
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets to enjoy the stage show or stroll through the trees to listen to musicians from around the region harmonizing on instruments including violins, guitars, banjos, and mandolins.
This free, family-friendly event also includes food trucks, craft vendors, kids’ inflatables, wagon rides, face painting, and plenty of fellowship. Bring your instrument and join one of the informal groups playing along the forest’s edge or even get on the list to play the main stage.
Old Fiddler’s Picnic will be held light rain or shine. Tents and canopies are not permitted within Fidder’s Field. Pets are welcome but must be on a six-foot leash. Parking is free.
