Ukulele Festival 的故事：

起初，對於Ukulele大多數人并不熟悉，而對此感興趣的我們於2009年成立了夏威夷小結他協會，系由幾位熱愛ukulele及夏威夷文化志同道合的人組合而成。由此，我們便成了ukulele喺香港的先鋒。

 我們最初系由幾個人拎住ukulele到處玩音樂開始，Ukulele系一個細小但又好易上手的樂器，Ukulele 唔單止系樂器咁簡單，它本身洋溢著夏威夷熱情，能給予我們親切的感覺，透過我哋同Ukulele 依個好伙伴經歷不同遊歷後，Ukulele帶俾我哋既比想象中得到更多，除左讓我們同伴之間可以進行音樂交流，促進彼此間的分享合作，甚至友誼。在親人方面，親子關係亦有所昇華。而之後，逐漸多人喜歡及加入，由十幾人的小活動慢慢成長為今日的「Hong Kong Ukulele Festival」！

我哋希望唔止系Ukulele 的愛好者聚會同交流，而系俾大眾一個合家歡的時段，享受一個音樂野餐的活動，甚至系提供一個平台俾香港和世界各地的人交流、體驗、學習的好機會。此外，大家系享受表演既同時，系中環海濱的空間，享受美景同食品飲料，就好似置身系夏威夷的夏日中，一路野餐(大家亦可帶備自己的野餐巾)，一路坐擁美景好好享受台上的演出。

今次既活動中，我們的表演活動將會準備一個大舞台，香港及來自世界各地的好手會為我們帶上精彩的音樂及表演，並且有第二届香港ukulele大賽，大家可觀賞到高手們的對比賽渾身解數！除了Ukulele 外，也會有其他樂器表演或合奏如：結他、電子琴等、口琴 ...等，大家可以一次過享受眼睛和耳朵的音樂盛會！

同時間舞台後方，亦會很多有趣好玩的遊戲攤位、音樂及手工工作坊等等，令更多既人嘗試接觸Ukulele ，輕輕鬆鬆一齊jam下歌，或者親身創造一個屬於自己的Ukulele 。另外，仲有Ukulele 的攝影區，等大家影低依個咁特別的時刻，留低與Ukulele 的回憶，令Ukulele 往後都能成為大家音樂路上的一個好幫手!

此外，「中環夏誌」的年度暑期重點節目《石頭節》 將同步於《中環夏誌》舉行的兩個月期間上演至8月30日，市民在現場可同時欣賞到罕見石頭藝術品。

熱烈歡迎大家的參與，期待到時與你們的見面！

The Hong Kong Ukulele Festival is a vibrant music festival hosted in the Central Harbourfront Event Space. We welcome people of all ages to join us.

Whether you play an instrument or not, we hope to bring you joy through music. There will be many interesting musical and cultural performances for you to enjoy. In addition to the performances, there will also be ukulele players from all over the world participating in the HK Ukulele contest. There will also be fun game booths, a photography area, as well as music and arts and crafts workshops, so you can experience music and Hawaiian culture in a new and exciting way. You can also picnic under the summer breeze and admire the view of Victoria Harbour while listening to music.

The story of the Ukulele Festival:

UKEHK was founded in 2009 by several people who love the ukulele and Hawaiian culture. At the time, not many people in Hong Kong knew about the ukulele, so we became the first group of people to introduce the instrument to Hong Kong.

When we first started, we were just several people playing music on the ukulele. The ukulele is a small, easy-to-learn instrument. It is not only easy to play, it also brings a part of the Hawaiian culture and spreads love among people. Because playing the ukulele spreads Hawaiian culture, encourages cooperation, forms friendships, and strengthens parent-child relationships, people have started to learn to play the ukulele. What was started by ten people slowly became the event it is today: the Hong Kong Ukulele Festival.

We aim to to make the Hong Kong Ukulele Festival more than a gathering of people who enjoy playing the ukulele, but a fun event for everyone to enjoy the music, have some family time and meet new friends. It is as if the Ukulele Festival is set in Hawaii.

This year is the fourth annual of Ukulele Festival in Central Harbourfront Event Space.

The Ukulele Festival is an opportunity for cultural exchange, spending time with family, as well as enjoying and experiencing music.

Ukulele masters and amateur players from Hong Kong and around the are coming together to celebrate the festival. Also, the second “Hong Kong Ukulele Contest” will be on to bestow rising talents for their outstanding presentation of music. 

Aside from ukulele music, you may also hear a variety of other musical performances, such as guitar, keyboard and harmonica performances.

We welcome you to join the Hong Kong Ukulele Festival, and we look forward to seeing you there!
