STRUMMIN' UP TO BOSTON! 2025 Celebrating all things ukulele.

It's back, bigger and better!! This time with exciting workshops!
We are thrilled to be bringing our third annual celebration back to Newton City Hall. This year, we are part of the Linda Plaut Festival of the Arts program supported by Newton Community Pride in partnership with The City of Newton/Cultural Development.

A gathering of some of the finest, most fun-loving ukulele instructors and performers for miles. Sharing the enjoyment and beauty of our favorite humble little instrument. Remember to bring your uke for a big ol' Strum-along! A great time to see old friends and make new ones.

You don't need to be a uke player to have a great time. All are welcome.
Spread the word!
