Please note that there is no festival planned for 2017-2018. Our hard working volunteers need a break so they can give it their all again when planning for, and working at, the next event. Thank you for your continued support! 

We are excited to share with you some of our favourite moments from the 2016 Cairns Ukulele Festival! We have released four videos; an edited highlights video, an uncut longer video with even more footage, and 2 music videos. Enjoy!

Cairns Ukulele Festival would like to thank all participants, volunteers, sponsors and performers for their support of this year’s festival!

We are going through all the photos and videos at the moment and shall be releasing them as they become available. Our Facebook photo albums can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/CairnsUkuleleFestival/photos

Should you have any photos or videos you’d like to share with us, please email to:

Thank you and keep strumming!

 

It’s going to be another big ukulele extravaganza today!

Of course there is the Ports North Finale Concert today at 3pm (doors open 2.20pm), with Taimane, Sarah Maisel and band and Tiffany Ann Smith with the Montgomery Brothers.

But, before that, there will be the Luna Australian Ukulele Showcase in the back bar of the Cape York Hotel and a footpath jam at the front.

Various acts from around the country will take dining room stage and perform a short of their best material.

Expect a plethora of musical styles from laid back Aussie bush to high energy rock and roll.

The Luna showcase runs between 11am and 2pm (so plenty of time to get to Taimane’s concert which is within walking distance) and the Bad Boys jam starts at midday.

The pub will be serving all day breakfast from 11am. 

See you there!
