About Us:

We offer a progressive, three-day festival focusing on advanced techniques and rudiments with plenty of time for fun. CDF is for advanced players and beginners alike. We're just a few hours away from both WCU (Culowee, NC) and KMW (Bardstown, KY), making the Chattanooga Dulcimer Festival a unique opportunity to hone your technique while warming up for those great weeklong festivals.
Get your festival season started right!
