The Cairns Ukulele Festival kicks off on the 25th June. The festival is totally dedicated to the tiny four stringed instrument (yes you got it, the ukulele). The festival will be jam-packed with fun stuff; there will be an art exhibition, a build-your-own-ukulele workshop plus dozens of concerts. The Cairns Ukulele Festival aims to ensure there is something for everyone!
