Galway Uke Fest CLG

Galway Uke Fest Company Limited by Guarantee is the organiser of Ireland’s premier ukulele celebration, held each June in the heart of Galway. Over four vibrant days the festival transforms the city centre into a hub of live performances, hands‑on workshops and community‑driven music‑making, welcoming everyone from seasoned players to complete beginners and anyone who simply enjoys great live music.

The event offers two ticket options: a full‑festival pass granting access to all concerts and workshops, and a concerts‑only pass for the evening performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Attendees can look forward to a packed programme of ukulele‑led gigs, interactive sessions with experienced musicians, and special collaborations such as The Waterboys’ “Fisherman’s Blues” flash‑mob. The festival also curates a downloadable songbook and shares vibrant photo collections from previous years, capturing the spirit and creativity of the gathering.

By championing the ukulele’s joyful sound and fostering a welcoming creative community, Galway Uke Fest provides a unique cultural experience for locals and visitors alike, cementing Galway’s reputation as a lively centre for music and the arts.
