Our Mission

  The Maritime Fiddlers Association (MFA) is a non-profit organization that promotes old time fiddling in the Canadian Maritime region.  The MFA was first formed March 28, 1981  and continues a strong tradition of supporting all ages in fiddle related events including concerts, contests, festivals, workshops, and the ever popular ‘Fiddle-Doo’.

The objectives of the Association are:

· to preserve old time fiddling music

· to promote informal fiddling ‘jam sessions’

· to improve the promotion of old time fiddling such as through the media

· to encourage public interest in old time fiddling as part of our culture

· to keep fiddlers and interested persons informed of fiddling news and events

· to encourage public interest in old time fiddling as part of our culture. 

· to encouraging the next generation of fiddlers to join in the fun. 

· to honour groups and individuals who help preserve and promote old time fiddling, with the presentation of awards, certificates, and life time memberships.
