Connecticut Ukulele Festival Events
The Connecticut Ukulele Festival was created by ukulele enthusiasts who recognized the bottomless desire by the Uke community to meet, learn, strum, sing and enjoy all things Ukulele. Our September 29 event is our “beta.” Our goal is to learn how to throw the best possible Uke festival and to develop long relationships with our attendees.

Ukulele Club of Santa Cruz - Hidden Valley Music Seminars Center in Carmel Valley



Ukulele Club of Santa Cruz - Burning Uke Events
Because of serious problems with our reservations at Little Basin, we are moving this year’s “Burning Uke” to a new venue: The Hidden Valley Music Seminars Center, located in the heart of beautiful Carmel Valley. It’s the same place that’s been our happy home for Smoldering Uke these past few years. We chose Hidden Valley because it’s a well-run facility with a friendly staff that provides us with a very comfortable place to stay, eat and play. Although it’s a slightly longer drive for most of us who live in the city of Santa Cruz, it’s a pleasant drive—and there are no windy mountain roads full of pot holes to navigate.

Ukulele Hoopla Events
Mark ‘Spanky’ Gutierrez says... Why you ask? As a very famous rodent once said “because we love you”! I was privy to some great ‘ukulele festivals in the early 2000’s. During that time I met some uke players that were not only great players but they were also great teachers! They had a passion for playing, teaching and they are great people too! I have said it before and I will say it again “uke people are the most open sharing folks you will ever meet. Those early festivals revived a life long passion in me that drove me back to college to get a Music Degree at UNO. I have always felt like I some how owed the ‘ukulele community something back... well here we are!
