Colorado Oldtime Fiddlers’ Association

Welcome! The Colorado Oldtime Fiddlers’ Association (COTFA) is dedicated to promoting and preserving the traditional American art form of old-time fiddling. We sponsor and support fiddle contests, including the Colorado Fiddle Championships; provide fiddle and guitar workshops; sponsor square dances; hold jam sessions; and support community outreach programs, including the El Sistema music program.

Mark your calendars for the Colorado Fiddle Championships which will be held on January 10 & 11, 2026 at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado.

CFC 2026 pre-registration will open October 1, 2025. If you have any questions, please reach out to Erin at erinb.cotfa@gmail.com.
