Highly recommended. This year was my first, I will be back and I will bring more people with me next year!
I loved it all over again!
This was my second time at the Allegheny Ukulele Soiree and I loved it all over again! The sessions were educational, the people kind and welcoming, the vendors had great things to buy and the concerts were awesome. I can't wait to see what next year brings!
This Soirée was nothing like I have ever done before
I was a bit on the fence about going because a lot of Uke Fests are kinda dusty with old tunes and people strumming and noodling all over the place. This Soirée was nothing like I have ever done before. So many classes on theory, singing, mikes and video, and things I had never done before. Learning from some of the best and them watching them play at night was pretty cool. I still can't believe how much I learned from the classes and from the other attendees. Good group of people, very welcoming and fun.
My first ukulele festival and it was a winner.
My first ukulele festival (been playing a few months shy of a year), and it was a winner. The performances were excellent, and the workshops were intensive — and everyone involved was friendly and accessible. Thanks to all involved...Stoked for next year!

This festival is well run, feels intimate, and really helped grow my skills and push me to be a better player. I love the teaching artists, and the jams were fun!
