The story
Tallgrass Prairie Fiddle Festival in Beatrice
Tallgrass Prairie Fiddle Festival opens with a free morning workshop at Homestead National Historical Park, moves into an open jam session where listening and playing blur together, and closes with a competition split into four divisions for fiddlers at every level. The whole day traces one complete learning arc, from shared technique to a tested performance against the open prairie.
By midmorning, the air around Homestead National Historical Park is full of quick bow strokes, shoe taps, and small knots of people turning toward whatever tune rises first.
