The grand finale of the Washington Region’s largest annual ukulele festival will highlight the free Wednesday night outdoor music series at Strathmore, Montgomery County’s finest performing arts venue, on Wednesday, Aug. 14. The show begins at 7:30 p.m.
Strathmore is located at 5301 Tuckerman Lane in Bethesda. Although the concerts are free, attendees are asked to RSVP in advance at Summer at Strathmore. By sending in an RSVP, audiences will be able to receive weather or performance updates.
The Live from the Lawn concerts will continue through Aug. 21.
Strathmore will celebrate its 16th Annual UkeFest, culminating with an all-star concert finale. The festivities begin with a strum-along for the audience and UkeFest participants, leading into an evening showcasing the ukulele's diversity with performances by world-renowned virtuosos.
The finale will include local folk legends Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, blues strummer Robert Jones of Detroit, Brazilian musician Vinícius Vivas, Strathmore Artist in Residence Zoë Jorgenson and Maui’s The Hula Honeys.
Attendees can bring low-rise chairs or blankets for their lawn experiences. The use of higher chairs is discouraged, but concert goers with those types of chairs are asked to sit toward the back of the lawn. The Strathmore team will ask those in higher chairs to move back if seated in a location that will block others’ view of the stage. Pets and comfort/emotional support animals are not permitted at Live from the Lawn events. Trained service animals are permitted.
Strathmore Culinary Arts will be serving a variety of barbeque-style food and drinks for purchase on site. View the menu here. Ben & Jerry’s will have ice cream options available for purchase. Attendees are welcome to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages. Outside alcohol is not permitted on property.
