'UKE GOT IT
(Friday) July 29, 6-9pm, and (Saturday) July 30, 3-11pm, Lanai; free

It's embarrassingly easy to forget that we're a tri-isle county and that our peeps on the (fka) Pineapple Isle have plene kine cool events fo' offer, too. Case in point: The Lanai Ukulele Festival. At five venues over two days, fantastic four-stringers–like Richard Ho'opi'i, Brittni Paiva, Herb Ohta Jr., Walt Keale, Tony Conjugacion, CJ "Boom" Helekahi, David Kamakahi and Benny Uyetake–will pluck your heartstrings with Hawaiian-style tunes augmented with hula. The event kicks off next Friday, July 29 at Manele Bay Four Seasons (6-9pm; VIP and dinner packages available) and continues on Saturday, July 30 in the Great Room at the The Lodge at Koele. Bookend the day with music at Coffee Works (9-11am) and Cafe 565 (11am-1pm), as well as an 'Ukulele Martini Jam at Pele's Other Garden, downtown (8-11pm). The event's entirely free, meaning your wallet's left with plene slack fo' booking room and board with the Four Seasons (special festival packages available start at $179; 1-800-321-4666) and Expeditions ferry (1-800-695-2624). lanaiukulelefestival.com
