How to Organize A Ukulele Festival

How To Organize A Ukulele Festival The Inside Scoop, By James Hill — This is a great article on taking the plunge and organizing a ukulele festival. If anyone know about festival it's James as he has been performing at festivals around the world longer than anyone.

Here are a few other resources for finding festivals (some very, very outdated):

European Festival Site — festivalinfo.net
Flea Market Music Ukulele Calendar — fleamarketmusic.com
Ukulele Festivals Around the World — www.hawaiianmusichistory.com/ukulele/festivals.htm • Very outdated as the last listings seems to be around 2008-2009.
Ukulele Festival Calendar (Go A Ukulele site) — www.gotaukulele.com/p/ukulele-festival-calendar.html

Finding Ukulele Festivals

Find Festivals Around the World: Everfest — In February 2020, Everfest was acquired by Qcue, an Austin company that provides dynamic pricing software for live entertainment events. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Defunct: June 1, 2020

All festival submissions are verified before posting.

Be sure to check your listing for the most current information, dates, etc...
All festival listings have been verified at their time of listing. I rely on the festival organizers and site visitors to notify LearningUkulele.com of changes and updates. Wee do check several times a year.

On the web since 1992 and a Mac since 1987 (Mac II) • Serving up Ukulele content since 2003 ( 22 years ago ) • Lets Kanikapila!!! v12.13.0 (8.2.23) • And, since Sept 2020, happily on Pop!_OS Linux and a System76 Thelio. Half the cost of the iMac and a real treat to use. I use it for ALL development work. Only wish the Affinity Suite of apps by serif where available on Linux (and I do know you can run them in Wine with a few hacks).
