54th Ontario Open Fiddle & Step Dance Contest
Come to beautiful Bobcaygeon, Ontario on July 26th – 27th to experience a traditional form of entertainment!
It may be new to you, but fiddling and step dancing have been part of our Canadian musical heritage and they both still exist today!

There are 3 program events to choose from: Friday evening starting at 6:30pm, Saturday morning starting at 9:30am and Saturday evening starting at 6:30pm. Last year’s competitors ranged in age from 4 years to 84 years! A cash bar and food booth are on-site as well as a silent auction. Come for an hour or come for four hours!
If you want to make a week or weekend of it, camping is available on-site at the Bobcaygeon Agricultural Fairgrounds starting Sunday, July 21st – Sunday, July 28th. A Wednesday night Fiddle Park Jam will take place in the Barn on July 24th starting at 7:00pm, and The Bobcaygeon Music Council Concerts in the Park will host a musical evening of Fiddling & Step Dancing at the Locks starting at 5:30pm with a Children’s Show and at 6:30pm with an Adult’s Show.
