SF Uke Jam’s Summer Uke-splosion: Peace, Love and Ukulele at Yerba Buena Gardens – San Francisco, CA

The ukulele is truly the people’s instrument, and the popular SF Uke Jam is the Bay Area’s leading force bringing fans of the diminutive 4-string uke together. Whether you play or just enjoy hearing the ukulele strummed by trained fingers, come join the SFUJ community for an afternoon uke-apalooza in the summer sun. The 9th Annual Uke Jam is both a showcase for the region’s foremost ukulele talent and a community strum-and-sing-along (bring your uke!) accompanied by special hula performances. Hawaii’s popular YouTuber Cynthia Lin and the Bay Area’s ebullient Ukulenny preside over the party, with support from multi-instrumentalist Steven Espaniola. From jazz and bossa nova to Hawaiian classics and reggae remixes, SF Uke Jam creates an island-inspired cross-cultural sound, turning the ukadacious celebration into an archipelago of aloha.

For this special Fourth of July edition, SF Uke Jam celebrates our country’s 250th birthday with an outpouring of peace, love and ukulele! Bring your ukes to the biggest backyard picnic of the year!
