2023 Allegheny Ukulele Soirée Thanks

Mahalo to Everyone!

I want to thank all of our attendees, artists, sponsors, and vendors who helped to make our 10th annual Soirée such a smashing success. It's hard to believe that the Soirée has been going on for an entire decade - from our humble beginnings at our local Penn State branch campus to the nadir of the COVID-19 pandemic, to today! We have so much to be grateful for and it's all because of our wonderful attendees whose smiling faces keep us going!

About the Soirée

The Allegheny Ukulele Soirée is Pennsylvania's longest running Ukulele festival and one of the largest Ukulele Festivals east of the Mississippi. The Soirée is located in central Pennsylvania in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains. Dedicated to sharing the ukulele with both the local and ukulele communities, the Soirée blends practical workshops with cultural exploration.
