GNUF – A Grand Northern Ukulele Festival is one-of-a-kind featuring ukuleles and so very much more – there is truly something for everyone! Don’t miss out on the fun at this extraordinary event. With world-class live music, inspiring workshops, chances to sing & play along and more, it’s no surprise that it sells out every year.
