Coshocton County has been the host of the longest running heritage music festival in Ohio—Dulcimer Days.  It is also the second oldest event of its kind in the United States.  This year marks the 35^th Anniversary of this nationally significant Appalachian musical event. As part of the festival, the Mid-East Regional Dulcimer Championships are held and winning competitors at Coshocton's festival go on to compete in the national competition. The Coshocton Dulcimer Days will be held at the Coshocton County Courtsquare Gazebo and at the Coshocton Presbyterian Church on Fourth Street.  Visitors to the event will enjoy music vendors, artists' booths and listening to traditional Appalachian music. Admission to the event will be free. There will be a freewill offering for the Saturday night concert at the Presbyterian Church featuring dulcimer players Susan Trump, of Newtonville, NY, and David Lindsey & Family of Bennington, OK. Several music workshops will be held throughout the weekend with a nominal charge of $15 each. Coshocton was again named by Midwest Living magazine as 'One of the 100 top towns to visit.'
