Tickets - You may buy a ticket for only the Friday Uke Fest Cabaret. A Minnesota Bluegrass Fall Jam/Great Minnesota Uke Gathering weekend festival ticket includes the Cabaret. A Friday Uke Fest Cabaret ticket does not include the festival Saturday or Sunday events. If you purchase a Friday evening Uke Fest Cabaret ticket, you may upgrade it for the price difference between the Friday and weekend ticket. To do so, bring your Friday wrist band to the Minnesota Bluegrass Fall Jam/Great Minnesota Uke Gathering ticket table.

Uke Fest is celebrating its eighth year and is marking its first year at the Great Minnesota Uke Gathering. The event is organized by local singer-songwriter Katy Vernon, and MC'd by Ukester Brown (aka David Remiger - www.ukesterbrown.com). Registration will kick off at 6:00 p.m, with performances beginning at 6:30. We look forward for sets from many local musicians as well as Jim Beloff.

The first Uke Fest took place in 2012 at Aster Café, featuring performances from a handful of local musicians, including Vernon. After the success of the first Uke Fest, Vernon decided to take up the project the next year, and she has organized it ever since.
Vernon’s goal has always been to make Uke Fest a community event. “When I took it on, I felt like it was very important to make it definitely something bigger than myself,” she said.
