The Nanaimo Fiddle Society is excited to unveil the first annual Fiddle Festival which will happen between March 31 and April 2, 2017.

The weekend begins with Adjudicated Fiddle Sessions on March 31. Performers of all ages and ability will have a chance to perform for our adjudicators, Gordon Stobbe and J.J. Guy, who will offer performers personalized feedback to help each individual improve as a player.

This day-long event will be highly entertaining and informative, and equally enjoyable for performers and audience members. Everyone is welcome to come and watch the performances that day.

Admission is by donation. The afternoon session begins at 1:30 and will feature all the individual and twin fiddle performances.

The evening session begins at 6:30 and features the group performances. Christ Community Church, 2221 Bowen Road.
