The World’s Largest Fiddle in Sydney, Nova Scotia

The World’s Largest Fiddle in Sydney, Nova Scotia is a 60‑foot‑tall solid steel sculpture that stands on the waterfront beside the Joan Harriss Cruise Pavilion, welcoming cruise passengers to Cape Breton. Designed by local artist Cyril Hearn and unveiled in 2005, it honors the region’s Celtic folk‑music traditions and is formally known by its Gaelic name “Fidheal Mhór A’ Ceilidh,” or “Big Fiddle of the Ceilidh,” making it an iconic photo stop for visitors to Sydney.
