Ukulele Festivals Around the World

These festivals are annual, semi-annual or first time events. Be sure to check their web site for the current dates.

* JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC *

Note: Be sure to check festival's web site, as not all festivals are annual or keep the site updated until the last minute. The Festival by Month page has the festivals listed that are scheduled for the current year – or at least my attempt to list current festivals.

I totally rely on people associated with the festival for festival dates and listing information. I do check the festival site for additional information.

More most festival listings I've not included the dates - be sure to check the festival's web page for the most accurate dates.
