The Maritime Fiddle Festival is the longest running old-time fiddle contest in Canada.[1] It is also the largest fiddle contest in the region.
Occurring annually in Nova Scotia in early July, the contest currently includes seven fiddling classes, two step-dance classes, and two days of competition, performance, and socials.[2] Winners of the contest include several notable fiddlers, including Mari Black, April Verch, J.P. Cormier, Scott Woods, and Shane Cook.[3]
