Few sounds bring back memories of the Islands like the mellow strings of the ukulele.

Hawaii’s most celebrated instrument is the star of the 47th Annual Ukulele Festival on Sunday, July 16, 2017 from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Kapiolani Park. We’re awarding a lucky winner a complete prize package (see below) to hop over to Hawaii and attend this awesome festival!

 

The largest international ukulele festival of its kind will bring together more than 15 world class musicians and acts from Hawaii and around the world, with a fantastic stage lineup ranging from internationally known virtuosos to local celebrities and an ukulele orchestra of hundreds of students, mostly children, led by festival founder Roy Sakuma.
