Join the Circle!

The city of Nanaimo is home to a thriving folk fiddle community where music, connection, and joy take centre stage. The Nanaimo Fiddle Society brings together musicians of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds—from fiddlers and bowed string players to the accompanists who make our tunes come alive. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time or returning to an old favourite, we celebrate inclusive, accessible music-making in a supportive community that believes everyone has a place in the circle.
