Wonderful, well planned event! The performers and workshops were A-level. Everyone was well received and well treated. The enthusiasm, hard work and dedication of the organizers resulted in a fun and educational weekend. 2023 was my first year. I will be there next year!
My husband and I attended this years soiree for the first time. We drove from Brick New Jersey, which was a five hour ride. We were very pleasantly surprised how well organized and well attended it was. We enjoyed all of the entertainment! So fun.
I am a newbie to Ukulele. I decided to attend just to see what it was all about and to see if I could pick up anything. What a blast! Friendly and helpful people were everywhere. The event was extremely well organized with a great selection of instructors and vendors. 2024 dates are already on my calendar. Wonderful event for any level!

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!
