World Fiddle Day was founded in 2012 by fiddler and historian Caoimhin Mac Aoidh, from Ireland. It was decided to hold the day on the Saturday in May closest to the 19th, the recorded day of death in 1737 of Antonio Stradivari, the Italian crafter of string instruments.

World Fiddle Day celebrates the family of bowed string instruments in the fiddle or violin family. The event is celebrated worldwide.

Patti Lamoureux, a local fiddling champion and member of the Manitoba Fiddle Association Hall of Fame, organized the local version of the event in Coronation Park in St. Boniface, Winnipeg, Manitoba on Saturday, May 18, 2013.
