This year the 4th Ukulele Hooley, Ireland's National ukulele festival will take place at the beautiful seaside town of Dún Laoghaire.

Located just south of Dublin bay, Dún Laoghaire is an ideal location for a Ukulele Festival. The backdrop of the sea, palm trees, beautiful pier, and lighthouse make it the closest thing to a South Sea Island this side of the Atlantic! So come and join us, for the weekend of August 24th & 25th, 2013.

We have a lined up a fantastic weekend of fun ukulele events, there is something in it for everybody. There are Ukulele Master Workshops, Beginners Workshops, the Ukulele Bus Busk scenic tour, the Ukulele Hooley Open Mic Night, and the main event: an 8-hour live concert by some of the most renowned ukulele artists and bands from around the world.

But the most important thing about any ukulele festival is the opportunity it presents for ukulele players to get together to play, sing, socialise and have a fun time, and that's what the Ukulele Hooley is all about!

And finally... DON'T FORGET YOUR UKULELE!
