Summer Uke Fest is back – you’re invited!

 
Ukuleles of Utah

Every summer, our friends at Ukuleles of Utah host a fantastic one-day event just north of Salt Lake City — and it’s back again this June!

Summer Uke Fest is packed with workshops, play-alongs, giveaways, and good vibes. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been strumming for years, this day is for you.

Last year, more than 40 Salt Lake Strummers attended — let’s top that this year!


🎤 Workshops & Open Mic

We’re proud to have two of our very own Salt Lake Strummers leading workshops this year:

  • Marci Villa – Boogie Woogie on the Uke
  • Kathy Jones – Chord Melody and Alternate Chord Fingering

Plus, the Open Mic will once again be hosted by the Salt Lake Strummers — always a crowd favorite!

🎉 Insider Fun Fact

Uke Fest was originally scheduled for June 21st — but they moved it to June 14th so it wouldn’t conflict with our Salt Lake Strummers June Jam. How cool is that?
Thanks, April!


Come Join the Fun!

This is a perfect day for making music, learning something new, and connecting with the ukulele community. We hope to see lots of Salt Lake Strummers there!
