This Funky Frets Uke Fest is a perfect opportunity to play and mingle with like-minded Uke enthusiasts. We have a wide selection of workshops that accommodate every level of playing, from first time picking up a Uke, to advanced players and everyone in between. NO UKER LEFT BEHIND!

The festival weekend consists of concerts, an open mic, multiple jamming opportunities, vendors, and for the first time (2023) a uke jam like no other at the beautiful The Carousel of Pottstown, and many other fun activities. Things for non-ukulele players too such as a hula workshop and lei-making class.
