Welcome to the Texas Old Time Fiddlers Association official website.
Founded in 1973, the Texas Old Time Fiddlers Association (TOTFA) exists to promote and preserve Texas Style fiddling as a traditional artform. By hosting fiddling events such as contests and conventions, we hope to raise awareness of our unique historic style of music.

Contest at Chicken & Bread Days Heritage Festival in October. A
chicken dinner is served, complete with musical entertainment,
delicious baked goods and jams are available for sale, and there's a
silent auction to make your bid at. Musicians are encouraged to
bring their fiddle / guitar to play onstage as entertainment and
enjoy the jam session at The Hall afterwards.
