Çanakkale, tarihi ve doğal güzelliklerin yanında özellikle coğrafi konumu nedeniyle kendine özgü ve oldukça renkli bir yapıdaki müzik, oyun ve eğlence kültürüne sahiptir. Çanakkale ilinin coğrafi konumu, müziğini ve geleneksel oyunlarını da etkilemiştir. Köklü tarihi ve kültürel zenginlikleriyle ilin müzik kültürü, Batı Anadolu ve Trakya-Rumeli ezgilerinin adeta bir kaynaşma yeri gibidir. Bu özellik türkülerde ve oyun müziklerinde de kendini açıkça gösterir. Tarihsel süreç içinde birçok kültürün kendine ait izlerini bıraktığı bir yerleşim alanı olarak bilinen kentin, müzik, oyun, dans, halk edebiyatı ürünleri, gelenek-görenek ve sosyal yaşam içindeki bütün unsurları, zengin bir kültürel çeşitlilik içinde gelişmiştir. Birçok kültürün kesişme ve kaynaşma yeri niteliğinde olan ilin sosyal ve kültürel tüm değerleri gibi geleneksel müzik kültürü ve halk ezgileri de bu sürecin etkisindedir. Çanakkale halk müziği kültürü, coğrafi ve kültürel koşullar göz önünde bulundurularak iki bölge içinde değerlendirilebilir. İl sınırları içerisinde kalan Gelibolu ve Biga yarımadasındaki halk müziği kültürü içinde birbirinden farklı yapılar görmek mümkündür. Genel olarak Balkanlar ve Trakya müzik kültürünün etkisinde kalan Gelibolu yarımadasında başta “karşılama” olmak üzere “hora-horo” gibi oyunlu müziklere ve Trakya bölgesinin müzik geleneğini yansıtan türküler yer alır. Biga yarımadasında ise başta zeybek olmak üzere, güvende, bengi, alay havası ve karşılama türlerini sıkça görmek mümkündür. Ayrıca Türkmen, Çerkez, Boşnak, Pomak vb. topluluklar kendilerine özgü müzik unsurları ile geleneksel kültür içinde önemli bir yer almakta, ilin genelinde müzikal etkinliklerin vazgeçilmez unsurları olarak görülebilecek Roman müzisyenler de kentin müzik ve kültür yaşamına katkı sağlamaktadırlar.
