Description

The third annual Royal City Uke Fest is coming and we want you to join us!

This year, you can opt for one or two days of ukulele goodness, including two fabulous evening concerts! The 2019 Royal City Uke Fest will feature interesting workshops from engaging teaching artists; a big, fun massed ukulele strum-along of 225 ukulele superstars (that’s you!); cool goodies at our vendor tables; and to top off each day, an awesome evening concert featuring our teaching artists.

If you purchased a Full Festival (2-day) Registration, the venue will be open Friday afternoon at 1:30pm. On Saturday the venue will not open until 9:00am when our vendors will be ready for you! Saturday events get underway at 10:00am.

On Saturday there will be three 75-minute workshop times throughout the day with your choice of four workshops in each timeslot. Lots of great selections for you to choose from and no need to sign up for a workshop in advance, you just go where your uke strings take you. Stay tuned for workshop details coming later in the spring/early summer.

Lunch and dinner are on your own but we have invited some food trucks to join us on site for the lunch break! You are welcome to stay at the venue on Saturday for lunch (please note it is a nut-free environment and no food or drinks are allowed in the Sanctuary). The venue will close between 5:00pm and 7:00pm both Friday and Saturday while we set up for the evening so we’ll ask you to find another location for your dinner!
