There are many fine restaurants within a short drive of the Soirée venue. Please see the below map for several options.
The Altoona Grand is able to accommodate many, but not all allergies and dietary restrictions. If your needs are somewhat complex and/or strict, we recommend bringing your own meals for the weekend & keeping them in a cooler in your hotel room. The Altoona Grand does not mind if people bring their own food into our common spaces including the Grouses's Nest for our Open Mic sessions during our meal breaks. We have a restaurant nearby, Clean Eatz, that specializes in gluten-free, dairy-free, & vegan entrees that may be a good option for you.

Everyone was friendly and encouraging. The level of the entertainment and instruction was top notch! I am looking forward to returning!
Great people, great fun, great workshops, Great jams and amazing organizers.
Always a great gathering of the ukulele community…a lot to learn and a lot of fun doing it!
An outstanding festival for ukulele players, both beginners and experienced. The ability to interact face-to-face with the amazing guest performers, other uke players, and vendors was invaluable.
The Soirée should win an award for the best organized ukulele festival!
The Soiree is a great program to attend. It is well organized, with a great deal of expertise, thoughtful planning and reasonable fees. Well seasoned presenters make the sessions productive and organized!
Top notch! Fantastic instructors! Very enthusiastic, informative and knowledgeable. Superb presentations. I learned so much this weekend
The Allegheny [Ukulele] Soirée is a ukulele smorgasbord...something for every age, talent level, social class...my friends are there
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!
