The Rotary Club of Darmouth East presents the
63rd Maritime Fiddle Festival
July 5th - 9th, 2012
For 63 years 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.
