2022 Los Angeles International Ukulele Festival

Mitch, I told Ricky Somborn about the festival, too. He's another YouTube teacher that Bernadette is friends with. In fact, I believe he is pictured on stage at the 2019 festival pics you posted. He's excited to be coming, too. It should be a fantastic event. I'm so looking forward to it!

Still room for 2-3 more Ukulele Festival Marketplace vendors - let me know if you have a prodcut or service (ukulele/music-related only, please) that would be a good fit. Shoot me a message and a link to your website. The vendor marketplace is free and open to the public with lots of free parking and there'll be food vendors out in the Entry Plaza area as well, FYI.
 
We are now only one month away from the biggest ukulele festival in the U.S.! Sept 23-25, Friday: evening kick-off concert with Andrew Molina & Brittni Paiva; Saturday: all-day workshops, performances and activities; Sunday: performances and play-alongs at the Grand Annex in San Pedro

I appreciate your support over the past 5 years - come one, come all, and let's get some new folks out to experience the fun, too!
 
@mitchchang Will there be an option to buy tickets at the door? I'd like to come but won't know if I can make it down until probably the day before.

yes absolutely but buying in advance always helps with headcount for printing programs (which are given out for free) and other such logistics. If you end up paying on the day of, cash, credit or Venmo will be accepted.
