Rome Ukulele Festival

A festival entirely dedicated to the ukulele in Rome

The Rome Ukulele Festival is the capital's first event fully focused on the ukulele, that small four-stringed instrument capable of creating great emotions when played together. The festival takes place in Rome, Lazio, at the Hotel dei Congressi on Viale Shakespeare, in the heart of the EUR district (Municipio IX), in a spacious and accessible venue.

A full day of shared music

The festival packs everything the ukulele community loves into one long day: workshops for beginners and experienced players, collective musical activities, an afternoon open mic open to anyone who wants to take the stage, spontaneous jam sessions, and major evening concerts. There are also exhibitors showcasing instruments to try out, along with the chance to discover accessories and the latest trends in the ukulele world.

International guests and masters

The Rome Ukulele Festival brings leading international instructors and artists to Rome, featuring thematic workshops and concerts ranging from pop classics to reggae vibes, and from singer-songwriter tracks to unique personal reinterpretations. The beating heart of the evening is the performance by the Italian Ukulele Orchestra, which gathers dozens of musicians on stage for an engaging and participatory finale.

A spirit of community

What sets this festival apart is the atmosphere: instruments always in hand, constant exchanges, listening, respect, and mutual encouragement. It is not just a series of concerts, but a gathering where enthusiasts of all levels meet to learn, play, and connect. The initiative is organized by the Ukus in Fabula association and promoted by Roma Capitale - Department of Culture, showcasing the city's commitment to independent and participatory musical scenes.

An event for the whole city

Free and open to all, the Rome Ukulele Festival appeals to ukulele players, the simply curious, families, and anyone wanting to discover a cheerful and accessible instrument. In a city as event-rich as Rome, the festival adds an original and international note to the cultural calendar of the EUR district and the entire capital.
