Allegheny Ukulele Soirée

For 2023 The Allegheny Ukulele Soirée is in-person.

The Allegheny Ukulele Soirée is Pennsylvania's longest running Ukulele festival, located in central PA in the foothills of the Alleghenies. Dedicated to sharing the ukulele with both the local and ukulele communities, the Soirée blends practical workshops with cultural exploration. The Soirée was established in February of 2014 as a way to introduce ourselves to the community and to grow our membership. We had such a good time we decided to do it again! Our primary goal is to share our love of the Ukulele with the local community. The Soirée also presents an opportunity for us to bring in top talent in the Ukulele world to central Pennsylvania.
