Get ready for a weekend of music, fun and community spirit as the Ukulele Hooley returns to Dún Laoghaire for its 15th year on 22-23 August.

Europe’s longest-running ukulele festival will bring together around 2,000 ukulele players from Ireland and across the globe for the much-anticipated Big Jam in the People’s Park.

The main concert event kicks off in the People’s Park, Dun Laoghaire on Sunday 23 August at 11:30am. We have an amazing lineup of ukulele artists local and international, both new faces to the festival, and some old friends joining us for what promises to be a memorable experience.

Enjoy:

✅ Live performances from Irish and international artists

✅ Workshops and open mic sessions

✅ The famous Bus Busk and Flash Mob

✅ Family-friendly entertainment throughout the weekend

✅ The spectacular Big Jam finale!
