- The Eugene UKEtoberfest...
- ...will feature two evening concerts, a full day of workshops, an open mic, hula dancing, jam sessions, vendors and prizes. The event will be held on the University of Oregon campus. We hope you can come and join the fun.
- The Venue
- Home base will be in U of O's Agate Hall, a big comfortable concert space with ukulele vendors, all day activities and breakfast and lunch by Cornucopia restaurant. Workshops will be held a block away in the new U of O Law School Building.
- Friday Concert: at Cozmic Pizza
(Corner 8th Av. & Charnelton St.)
- Hawaiian Reggae with excellent vocals and bodacious ukulele from Craig Chee and 'Some Guys'. Clever and funny songs from the fertile mind of Jay Seeley.
- Saturday Concert: at Agate Hall
(1787 Agate St.)
- Canadian virtuoso James Hill and chanteuse Victoria Vox will headline this year's show. Also ukulele and slack-key guitar by Mark Nelson.
- Workshops
- Twelve different workshops, each an hour and twenty minutes long, to improve your ukulele skills, learn new songs and help you have more fun with your uke.
- Fun Activities
- There will be mini-concerts and jam sessions all day with an open mic on Saturday afternoon. It's so much more clever than karaoke. There will also be vendors with ukes, CD’s, books and accessories. We will again have the very popular raffle! UKEtoberfest offers fun for non-ukers too. There is a hula dance workshop and a short 'instant ukulele' class where you can learn to play from scratch.
