The Fiddleheads are proud to help host Yukon2024: The Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Competition and Pan Northern Youth Fiddle Summit.

Yukon 2024 marks the first time our national fiddle contest, the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Competition, will be held in the North.

It is also the first time youth fiddlers from across the North will have the chance to learn, share and perform together as part of the Pan-Northern Youth Fiddle Summit.
