Downtown Rome came alive Saturday afternoon as the 10th annual Fiddlin’ Fest between the Rivers filled Broad Street with the sights and sounds of celebration for 2025.

The festival transformed the heart of downtown into a lively showcase of music, art, and community with two live performance stages and activities for all ages stretched across every block.

Vendors lined the streets offering a wide variety of goods – from food, handmade jewelry, paintings, toys, candy, and clothing.

This year’s event once again featured the Cars on Broad show, displaying classic rides and custom builds from every decade, including vintage trucks dating back before the 1950s.
