Fiddle & Food Festival
September 4 - September 6
The Fiddle and Food Festival is now held at the Payson Event Center in collaboration with the Northern Gila County Fair!
Payson is proud to host Arizona’s State Fiddling Championship for the 55th year. Come one, come all and enjoy the musical offerings of Arizona’s most talented fiddlers. From the youngest (small fry) to the eldest (senior), we’re sure that you will be delighted by their talent. Bring the family and lawn chairs and join us at the Payson Event Center for a truly enjoyable weekend full of music and amazing food trucks. Divisions will go in order, times not guaranteed.
Registration for the Fiddle Competition will open in the summer 2025.
We are gladly accepting vendors for this event. If you are interested in being a vendor at a Town of Payson Event, please visit the vendor request form.
