Uke U is a three day festival dedicated to fostering the Spirit of Aloha through friendship, education, and ukulele music. Held in beautiful Bend, Oregon, Uke U brings folks from all over the country together for workshops and  performances presented by outstanding musicians, as well as lots of opportunities for songs circles and Open Mic performances. This year the festival sold out in less than three weeks.
Volunteer support for Uke U comes mainly from the Bend Ukulele Group, which meets every Tuesday for a play-along attended by 50-100 people of all ages. 
Profits from Uke U support the Ukes for Youth program which provides instruments, instruction, and support services for over two thousand students in local schools and activity programs. For more information about Uke U and the Ukes for Youth Program, go to www.ukeu.info.
