With heartfelt regret, the
organizing committee of Windy City Ukulele Festival has had to make the
agonizingly difficult decision to postpone the next festival to summer
of 2010. Attendees of last years festival possessed the genuine aloha
spirit and many friendships were built, and it was a huge success (with
the exception of financial matters). Due to a cascade of several
life-altering events we do not have the resources to properly
organize and conduct a successful festival this year in the timeframe we
had hoped.
Looking forward to 2010, our
planning will be starting immediately. We are looking for a few good
fellow volunteers that can help us to expand on last year's success. If
interested, please let us know. We hope that you continue to enjoy the
ukulele, and the goodwill that comes with playing and sharing this
wonderful music.
We hope to see you again next
year in Chicago!
Aloha to all our friends,
The Windy City Ukulele
Festival, Organizing Committee.
This will be the largest ukulele festival in the Midwest. Chicago has had a strong ukulele history from ukulele manufactures to great ukulele performers. We wish to continue the aloha spirit and share with you everything the ukulele has to offer. The `ukulele is the gift that keeps on giving. We will have performers and ukulele instructors from around the world giving world-class ukulele workshops. Come and delight in three fun-filled days of ukulele paradise. We will have a UkeTube stage where any uke player can show their stuff. The main stage will have top performers from the ukulele community. We will have starter workshops for people and kids that have never played a musical instrument of any type. We have lined up: Mark “Spanky” Guiterrez, Gerald Ross, Victoria Vox, Windy
City Islanders, Kimo Hussey, Ali Lexa, We will have raffles, ukuleles, sing-a-longs, and ukulele instruction workshops for all levels. We will have the best ukulele vendors, and suppliers. All the ukulele merchandise you’ve dreamed about will be there. Drooling is not allowed. Disclaimer: All events, workshops, performers, and performances are subject to change without notice.
