The 64th Canadian Open Old Time Fiddle Championship will take place August 6–10, 2014 in Shelburne. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Shelburne, the event features Canada’s top fiddlers in competition for more than $15,000 in prizes! Community events in conjunction with the Canadian Open Old Time Fiddle Championship include camping, a giant Fiddle Parade, an open air market, non-denominational church service and 24 hour meals at the Legion – we are working on adding more experiences to make the 64th a spectacular not-to-be-missed, non-stop five days of fun and entertainment.
