===The International Whistlers Convention===
The [[International Whistlers Convention]] was an international competition for whistlers that originated from a folk festival in Louisburg. It was started in 1980 as the National Whistlers Convention, the first whistling convention in the world. Although mostly held in Louisburg, the convention was occasionally held in Japan and China. In addition to competitions, the convention also inducted individuals into the Whistlers Hall of Fame in addition to competitions. The convention was featured in the documentary ''[[Pucker Up: The Fine Art of Whistling]]''. The last International Whistlers Convention was held in Louisburg in 2013. In 2016, the Japanese Whistling Confederation started a successor event, the biennial World Whistlers Convention.
