Welcome to Galway Uke Fest, a celebration of all things ukulele in the heart of Galway. Over 4 days in June, the city comes alive with music, workshops, and good vibes, offering something for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned player, a total beginner, or just love great live music.

Every contribution, big or small, helps keep the music going and is hugely appreciated by the festival team. Learn More about Becoming a Friend here.
