The Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest will be held on Sunday May 15th 2016 at the Paramount Ranch in Agoura. It is a terrific day out and an ideal venue for photographers of all levels. ​

The Contest is an outdoor happening around old western movie sets amid open fields at Paramount Ranch. It's a great deal of fun with International and US musicians of all types and ages wandering throughout the area, playing individually and in small groups. There are plenty of jam sessions as well as singers, dancers and story tellers.  It's an excellent venue for shooting interesting portraits, and catching magic photo moments with banjo, guitar and  fiddle players.   The central theme of the event is the contest itself,  held on the main stage in a large grassy arena: no seating, bring your own chair or blanket.   The contest is open to all pre-registered players and includes categories from the very young to the old with a wide range of instrument skills and singing levels.
