The Canadian Open Old-Time Fiddling Championship is one of the most important fiddle festivals in Canada. Founded in 1951, the contest was held annually in early August in Shelburne, Ontario. In the 2010s, it also became part of the Heritage Music Festival.[1][2] It was the second longest-running fiddle competition in the country (behind the Maritime Fiddle Festival in Nova Scotia), although the contest has not been held since 2019. Several of the top fiddlers in Ontario have won the contest, including Pierre Schryer, Louis Schryer, Graham Townsend, Eleanor Townsend, Frank Leahy, Julie Fitzgerald, Shane Cook, and Scott Woods.
