Melbourne Ukulele Festival

The Melbourne Ukulele Festival is a fun event where music lovers come together to listen, play, and sing along to everything related to the ukulele!

The festival is held at the Northcote Town Hall, High Street Northcote and other venues around the Northcote Precinct.

The festival started in 2009 and continues to run as a not-for-profit community event supported by the City of Darebin. During this festival, you can watch performances from local and international artists and even participate in a jam session or a workshop.

MUF, one of Australia’s first and longest-running ukulele festivals, keeps ukuleles on the edge and delivers a range of local, national and international acts that will delight, educate and inspire ukulele players and music lovers alike.

The lure of our specially selected workshops will enhance your skills and bring joy to your playing. 2025 workshops feature something everyone can enjoy and will get you close and personal with the skills showcased when our artists are on stage!

No matter your attraction to the ukulele, you’ll find it at MUF. Sit back and enjoy the stage performances and free street performances, play and sing at Klub MUF (open mic), browse the market stalls, or attend one of the many workshops!

Step into the rhythmic realm of MUF’s Song-writing Competition for MUF25! It’s time to synchronise your original tunes and enter the MUF25 Songwriting Competition! Whether you’re a seasoned composer or a budding songwriter, this competition invites you to harmonise your melodies with the echoes of time at MUF25!
