Since 1950, the Maritime Fiddle Festival has been the source for lively entertainment, spirited and fun competition, and traditional Nova Scotian hospitality.
It has grown from a small fundraiser originally organized to help build a community church, to Canada’s longest running old-time fiddle festival and competition.

Every year the festival welcomes participants, bus tours, and audiences from across North America and around the world.

Whether you are a fiddle player interested in competition or just have a love of great music, join us in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia for some of the best old-time fiddle entertainment anywhere in the world.
