Founded in 1976, the Rollo Bay Fiddle Festival began from visions and musings of local fiddlers Bishop Faber MacDonald and Joe Pete Chaisson. Years later, the outdoor festival is a great mix of relaxed family atmosphere, local food and drink and onsite camping – now run by Joe-Pete’s grandchildren (which includes members of The East Pointers). Pulling in acts from all over the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Scotland and more, Rollo Bay Fiddle Festival has become a highly sought-out destination for fiddle fans from all over Canada and the world.
Featured entertainers in the past included Natalie MacMaster, Ashley MacIsaac, The East Pointers and The Barra MacNeil's.
