The 9th Czech Ukulele Festival will take place, yes it will!
We did manage to hold the festival in 2020, but on a much smaller scale and without the great variationwhich we usually achive by inviting many performers from around the world.
The 2021 festival will be concentrating on a colourful, cheerfull and accessible event, as everyone has hade a difficult and challenging 2020, we want to give everone something to smile about, to laugh and to dance while listening to great and varied music..
As regular festival goers know, we normály have a Friday day trip. This year we had planned a repeat visit to Kutná Hora, however, we have decided to cancel the day trip this year, but 2022 will be back on.
On Saturday and Sunday the festival is held in the village of Únětice u Prahy, where there will be a full program of worskhops and concerts available for the attendees. Workshops will range from children´s and beginners to master classes of advanced techniques.
Since the first festival in August 2013, the Czech Ukulele festival has built a reputation of being the most inclusive and open festival of its kind in Europe, and arguably the most enjoyable in the world. We have striven to present performers and ideas from as many parts of the world as possible and represent a wide range of age and social groups, with a special interest in promoting young players and encouraging children to play.
