Strathmore’s 17th Annual UkeFest returns this summer with a joyful celebration of all things ukulele, culminating in an all-star concert. The evening begins with a lively strum-along featuring UkeFest participants and audience members, then shifts to a showcase of the instrument’s versatility with performances by the festival’s world-class teaching artists: Cathy Fink, Marcy Marxer, Aaron Keim, Jim Beloff, Steve Espaniola, and Jeff Peterson.

RSVP is requested. RSVP allows us to notify you of event and weather changes.
