The Belfast Ukulele festival came about from a conversation between a couple of keen uke enthusiasts from the Belfast Ukulele Jam.

From that small spark, through countless emails and calls, we launched our very first festival in 2022. It was magical, thanks to some amazing artists who believed in us from the start.

We're all about community here, and our fantastic BUF crew can't wait to welcome you to this year's festival.

It’s been an incredible journey shaping the BUF programme for three years, and it’s so exciting to bring you a line-up filled with both local and international talents. Get ready for an unforgettable experience and dive into the best of Belfast’s vibrant scene. We hope you enjoy every moment and the wonderful craic Belfast has to offer!
