The 7th Central Coast Ukulele festival 2018

23th – 26 August 2018

Diggers At The Entrance

Central Coast Hwy

Long Jetty

This year we will be holding our event all  indoors undercover at The wonderful Diggers at The Entrance with views over our beautiful Tuggerah Lakes.

Our festival this year has been moved to August as September is starting to be a very busy month and we are surrounded by other festivals and school holidays.  As August can be beautiful weather it can also unpredictable so we have decided to move this years festival indoors for your comfort and I am thinking about doing this every two years perhaps. We won’t have to worry about the weather and this gives us a chance to explore other things. Come and spend some time with us. You can enjoy our festival and enjoy our great area of The Entrance and other beaches and lakes across The Central Coast. Being out of school holidays makes it an ideal time for a break and prices.

Accommodation is plentiful around the Entrance from 5 star rating resorts and hotels to camping ground and caravans parks our on the beaches or lakes.

There is also accommodation at the Diggers (Ibis) however you will have to get in early as it gets booked out quickly

I am going to include a folk element into this year’s festival so please pass on the word. We’d love to hear from you

Our Saturday night has been  designated “Fiesta fun night”  so you can let out hair down, dress up in colours,  sing and dancing will be the fun as we have a great band booked for you.
