2024 Funky Frets Ukulele Fest

The Funky Frets Uke Fest, which started in 2015, has grown into a beloved annual gathering for ukulele enthusiasts in Boyertown, PA. With a focus on fun and learning, the festival offers a diverse array of workshops, jam sessions, open mics, and opportunities to connect with like-minded players. What sets it apart is its inclusive atmosphere, where both repeat attendees and newcomers feel equally welcomed and valued. Attendees not only come to share their talents but also to forge lasting connections with fellow ukulele lovers. It's this sense of community and camaraderie that makes the Funky Frets Uke Fest a standout event in the ukulele world.
