Uke Day

Sunday, August 17, 2025

celebrating everything ukulele

Turn up on August 17, 2025 for Uke Day! Join us for our third year in celebrating everything ukulele!

The event will be held at Hopkins Park in DeKalb, in both the community room downstairs and the Terrace room. We open the doors at noon and end at 5 p.m.

Admission is $5, and the first 40 people get a free lei. Admission includes three uke workshops, a concert with the Wild Blue Ukulele Orchestra, and a fantastic strum and sing. Maybe you need a new ukulele or want to take lessons? There will be local music shop vendors, including the Ukulele Station of America, Ax-In-Hand and Aurora Music Company. We are excited to bring back Wild Carrot food truck to our event, as well as awesome raffle items, crafts and much more.

Uke Day is sponsored by the Illinois Ukulele Society and Wild Blue Ukulele Orchestra.

The ukulele is a popular instrument, with more than 1,700,000 ukuleles sold annually in the United States of America. We know that many people in our area own a ukulele, and we invite you to come and play, listen, learn, shop, and have a great time! The event is open to all.
