Ukulele Hooley 2027

We are Ireland’s international ukulele festival, the Ukulele Hooley. 2026 was 15th year of the festival, Europe’s longest running ukulele festival. 

Over the years we have presented many talented ukulele performers and groups from around the world and we’re planning to continue that tradition. Many ukulele luminaries have performed including Canada’s James Hill, Belgium’s Winin’ Boys, Ukulele ZaZa, Minnie & The Illywhackers, Del Rey, Andy Eastwood, Christopher Davis-Shannon, Ukulele Uff Trio, Janet Klein, France’s Les Poupees, Fred Sokolow, Shine (from Spain), Hawaii’s Daniel Ho, Gus and Finn Trio, Moon Berries, Ukulele Red & Lil’l Mamie Brown, The East River String Band, Ireland’s West Cork Ukulele, Ukeristic Congress, the Dublin Ukulele Collective, UK’s Hot Potato Syncopators, Casey McGill, James Clem, The Mourning Glories and many many other fine artists and groups.

A super weekend of ukulele fun: Friday night jam, Saturday Workshops, Saturday Eblana Cabana Stage, Flash Mob, our Bus Busk and an open mic on Saturday evening, followed by a whole day of excellent ukulele acts performing on the big stage in the People’s Park, and our ‘Weather’ themed Ukulele Jam mass ukulele performance. 

You get to meet ukulele players from all over Ireland and many international visitors too. Fun for all the family and educational too for the ukulele players amongst us. A great place to meet like-minded friends.
