The annual Musselburgh Festival usually takes place at the Brunton Halls, Musselburgh a few miles from the outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland on the first Saturday of March each year from 10am onwards. In 2008 because of upgrades to the Brunton Halls the Festival moved to Dunblane Hydro Hotel in Perthshire. This large-scale festival is organised by the National Association of Accordion and Fiddle Clubs, and includes a wide range of competition categories for Scottish traditional and classical music for both accordion and fiddle.
In the evening, there is a concert (6.15pm to 8.15pm) followed by a dance (9pm to 12pm), The concert features the winners of the various sections plus play-off contests for the senior accordion and fiddle sections.
