Cowley County Fairgrounds holds the National Guitar Flat-Picking Championships and Walnut Valley Festival each year. Evolving from two days in 1972 to its current five days, held the 3rd weekend of September annually, it endeavors to produce: "family fare" entertainment on four stages simultaneously; a large, quality, arts and crafts fair; workshops; and acoustic instrument contests. What began with 10 acts and two contests now boasts over 30 acts and eight contests.
UPDATE: The 2021 event has been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns.
