Having Jeff Peterson join the 2026 lineup was a dream come true. His performances are rich with musicality and skill, and his joy shines both on and off stage. Just wow.


Thanks again to Peter Brown for the great photographs 📸

Jeff Peterson visited our festival from Honolulu, and gave two wonderful workshops (Moving Chord Shapes and Hawaiian Style). He’s an excellent teacher, and you can also find him on UkuleleCorner.com! We were so fortunate to learn from such a talent! 🍊😍

What a wonderful performance by Heidi Swedberg and Daniel Ward at the 3rd Annual Orange County Ukulele Festival! Moving, quirky, virtuosic, and downright fun— the moments were filled with so much heart on that stage. Wow!

Heidi Swedberg and Daniel Ward graced us with their sweet charm and incredible talents during their workshops at the OC Uke Fest! Daniel’s “Arpeggio Meditations for Ukulele” book is a favorite for us, and Heidi sure is “fearless”!! What a team! ❤️🍊
