WEEKEND: Ukulele festival must end Saturday in Port Townsend at Fort Worden State Park

PORT TOWNSEND — One more show, the Ukulele Bonanza Two, will bring 2015’s Port Townsend Ukulele Festival to a close at Fort Worden State Park this Saturday night.

Ukulele stuntman Stu Fuchs and musical partners Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, alongside Del Rey, Sarah Maisel and Craig Chee, Gerald Ross, Joel Eckhaus, Ralph Shaw, Jason Arimoto, Aaron Keim and Nani Edgar will start the party at 7:30 p.m. at the Wheeler Theater, just inside Fort Worden at 200 Battery Way.

This is a Centrum festival, so tickets, at $20, are available via Centrum.org and 800-746-1982.

If any are left Saturday, they will be sold at the Fort Worden box office an hour before show time.

The Ukulele Bonanza Two follows two weeks of workshops, jam sessions and Ukulele Bonanza One, which took place at the Wheeler last Saturday.

“It’s been such a joy to bring this spirited community together,” program manager Peter McCracken said in a news release.

“They fit right in in Port Townsend.”
