The spirit of Hawaiʻi’s most beloved instrument continues to thrive as the International ‘Ukulele Festival of Hawai‘i returns July 10-12, bringing together musicians, families, and fans from around the world for three days of free entertainment, education, and aloha. This year’s celebration carries special meaning thanks to the continued support of ‘Ukulele Festival Hawai‘i founder Roy Sakuma, whose original festival introduced millions to the joy of the ukulele over an incredible 52-year run.
