Dallas International Guitar Festival and Musicfest
Dallas, Texas
When: mid-April
Where: Dallas Market
Hall at 2200 Stemmons Freeway
Revered by music lovers as the birthplace of
guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughn, the city of Dallas is a fitting
locale for a six-string shindig deemed the world's longest-running
guitar show. During the three-day spectacular, aficionados can fine
tune their skills in workshops, search for vintage Fender, Gibson
and Gretch guitars or check out the latest audio equipment inside
America's largest privately-owned exhibition hall.
Whether you're an avid guitar enthusiast or
simply an air guitar virtuoso, you'll enjoy the musical menagerie
of rock, blues and country performers that take the mic on five
indoor and outdoor stages each afternoon before a roster of regional
and national headliners rock the hall in a Friday night concert
and Saturday Night All Star Jam.
Check out the musical mastery of fledgling
guitar heroes at The Texas 10 Under 20 Contest, and flick your Bics
in appreciation for the artists who pour their soul out in song
during the guitar solo contest.
