Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering

One of my favorite summer festivals in Lafayette, Indiana is the Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering. This event usually takes place in June, and for 2010 it will be held on June 25-27. The Fiddlers' Gathering is a fun family event that offers a chance to hear traditional fiddling and enjoy a night of dancing. The Fiddlers' Gathering is held at the Tippecanoe Battlefield Historic Park in Battle Ground, Indiana. Ticket prices fluctuate depending on the day.
