Fiddler's Green commemorates the cultural and musical history of Port Fairy as a fishing port and place of music. It reflects the spiritual memory of all the seafarers and fishermen who worked the seas over the life of this village and community.
Fiddler's Green is a legendary supposed afterlife, where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing, and dancers who never tire. In maritime folklore it is a kind of afterlife for sailors who have served at least 50 years at sea.
