Aloha in the Alleghenies

This year's theme is "Aloha in the Alleghenies", a celebration of Hawaiian culture. Many of our artists are from or have a strong connection to Hawaii and Polynesian culture. Our workshops will include the typical variety of topics but will also include some special Hawaiian cultural topics such as kanikapila, Hawaiian falsetto singing, and more. Our 14th annual festival is a celebration of the cultural heritage that brought us our favorite lil' instrument, the 'Ukulele!

  See all of our guest artists, instructors, and performers here!
