| Congratulations. I am very pleased that a ukulele festival is returning to the So. Cal. area. I remember seeing James Hill perform at the festival in Cerritos about a decade ago. I'll keep the date open.

TICKETS ON SALE IN 1 1/2 WEEKS! Be sure to check back here March 9 for a special link to presale tickets for the Los Angeles International Ukulele Festival! This should give out-of-towners plenty of time to plan in advance for a lovely stay in always-sunny Southern California. I've already been getting inquiries about accommodations so i've set up special hotel rates when you mention the ukulele festival at the Marriott Residence Inn, just down the street from the Torrance Cultural Arts Center
It's going to be so easy to be a part of the festival:
For only a $35 entrance fee enjoy performances throughout the day (10am-5pm) by your favorite ukulele artists including Sarah Maisel, Troy Fernandez, Lil Rev, Craig Chee, Ukulele Bartt, Abe Lagrimas, Danielle Ate The Sandwich, "Gypsy Ukulele" Mike Okouchi and lots more PLUS take whichever/however many workshops you like PLUS during this presale period, get one FREE drawing ticket to win an ukulele signed by all the artists! Can you believe it - all that for ONLY 35 bucks??
The evening concert featuring ukulele superstar James Hill is also a no-brainer price, only $35 - come enjoy both for only 70 bucks! But wait....
SPECIAL PRESALE PRICE AVAILABLE STARTING MARCH 9: only $60 for all day + James Hill in concert! THERE ARE ONLY 250 OF THESE COMBO TICKETS AVAILABLE SO DON'T MISS OUT
What's a festival for, if ya can't make it easy as possible for everyone to come out and have a great time? I'll see y'all back here March 9 - let me know if you have any questions!

Festival update #1: James Hill is unable to make the festival this year due to unforeseen circumstances; although I am not at liberty to elaborate at this moment, please trust that it is a good thing, you'll probably catch wind of the reason right around the time of the festival. In light of this, the evening concert is being cancelled and the event will run all day from 10am-6pm; still just $35 to enjoy musical performances all day and take whichever/however many workshops you want! Purchasers of the evening concert ticket will be contacted individually and refunded.
Festival update #2: the festival website is up, with updated performer info and a preliminary performance schedule. Troy Fernandez is going to kick some serious ukulele booty!! Please visit http://losangelesukulelefestival.com/. Details for workshops, vendors and sponsors to follow - please spread the link to your friends and fellow uke enthusiasts. Mahalo!
