Some of the best fiddlers in the nation descended on the Yukon Arts Centre on Aug. 24. 

The Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Competition has been a leader in the field of Canadian fiddling for 30 years. This event brings the best fiddlers from across Canada to compete on the Yukon Arts Centre stage.

Approximately 35 fiddlers from across Canada were invited to compete for the title of Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Champion. 

Created to promote and retain Canadian traditional fiddling, the competition raises up the top Canadian fiddlers. This competition has served as a springboard for many artists throughout the years, with several Junos and Canadian Folk Music Award winners within the ranks.
