The Municipality of Leamington, in partnership with the Leamington 150 Anniversary Committee, is excited to announce two free back-to-back concerts to celebrate Leamington’s 150th anniversary.

These special anniversary concerts are a tribute to Leamington’s history and community spirit. Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy, two of the world’s most celebrated fiddlers, promise to deliver an unforgettable performance filled with fiddle-driven music, dance, and song. Audiences will be captivated by their incredible musicianship, energy, and engaging storytelling.

Together, they create a powerful synergy that has made them two of the finest fiddle players in the world.
