Montana Old-Time Fiddler's Picnic

Montana Old-Time Fiddler's Picnic ..........A small party for 500 of our closest friends! It's all impromptu and spontaneous. As always the general public is cordially invited.

The Montana Old-Time Fiddler's picnic is an annual event put on by musicians for musicians in celebration on old-time fiddle, bluegrass, western swing, country and folk. It is a 3-day event that is organized in an informal jam format meaning there is no formal schedule of performances or musical events. The picnic was the brain-child of James "Doc"Allison of Livingston, MT more than 35 years ago a

nd was originally organized as pot luck for fiddlers to get together and play the music they loved. Doc hosted the event the last weekend in July/ first weekend in August at his farm in Livingston. The picnic's popularity grew over the years until is was simply know as "Doc's'' and became the highlight of the summer for fiddler's and lovers of Americana music. Doc hosted his last fiddler's picnic the summer of 2005 when it was decided the event would be moved to it's present location on the Mercier Ranch south of Livingston and would be hosted by David and Candace Payne. The 2013 Montana State Fiddler's Picnic will be the eighth edition at the Mercier Ranch and attendance and enthusiasm for this summer event is as high as ever. Admission and parking is free although cash donations to help defray the event costs are graciously accepted.
