Reno Ukulele Festival

About

Held in Sparks at the Nugget Casino & Resort, the 18th annual Reno Ukulele Festival runs in late October and delivers a four-day lineup of daily workshops, evening concerts, artist discussion panels, open mics, community performances, and extensive shopping. Founder Doug Reynolds produced the festival, and it is now run by Dani Joy & Perry Stauffer, both accomplished performers and instructors. The vendor roster leans heavily ukulele and music—everything from instrument makers and specialty music shops to online ukulele academies. Attendees span absolute beginners to advanced musicians, and the community culture emphasizes inclusivity across skill levels. Open mic opportunities and spontaneous hallway jams extend late into the night, drawing an engaged audience.
