Highly recommended. This year was my first, I will be back and I will bring more people with me next year!
The Allegheny Ukulele Soirée has always wanted to create the best possible experience for our festival attendees. After much research, discussion and feedback, we have decided that we will follow the example of other festivals and entertainment venues.
All in-person attendees of the Allegheny Ukulele Soirée are highly recommended to be fully vaccinated by the time of the festival. Proof of vaccination is not required upon check-in at the festival.
Are you ready to step up and belt out a few tunes this year? Or maybe just ready to show off your fancy new shtick? Awesome! We have two open mic opportunities again this year - both will be located in the on-site Grouse's Nest restaurant & bar.
Solo performers will appear during our Lunch break on Saturday (12PM - 1PM).
Group performers (max 5 per group, please) will appear during our Dinner break on Saturday (5:30PM - 6:30PM).
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!
Excellent festival. Very well organized with something for everyone. I learned something at every workshops and the presenters were well prepared and available to answer questions. All in all - a wonderful event!

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.
Whether you've played ukulele for years or just picked one up, noodle alone at home or perform on stage with a group, you HAVE to go to the Soiree! It's a weekend of fun & learning with some fantastic like-minded uke enthusiasts. The performances are world-class, the workshops are incredible & the organizers are the best I've seen. Can't wait to go every year!

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!
