Keiki ‘ukulele players from kindergarten through 12th grade are invited to participate in the 18th running of the Maui Youth Ukulele Players Contest. The contest is held at Hula Grill Kaanapali and gives Maui County keiki the chance to perform on stage in front of a live audience.

Hula Grill

The contest kicks off of at 10 am, but there is a complimentary workshop prior at 9:15. The workshop is led by Hawaii instructor, Kimo Hussey, and is a great way to get the group warmed up and playing together.

Keiki can compete in the solo division, group division, or both. The contest is sponsored by KoAloha, so every contestant has the chance to win a brand new ukulele. And every contestant will leave with a commemorative t-shirt and other great prizes.

A simple breakfast and lunch will be provided for the contestants, and family members or other supporters are welcome to order from our lunch menu any time after 10:45 am.
