UKE U 2026 OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES

UKE BEER FLOAT - Join us for a leisurely float on the Deschutes River on Friday, June 26th from 2pm to 4pm, weather permitting. The put in will be at Riverbend Park and tubes can be rented at the Pavilion with a shuttle for both the put in and take out. Tube rental cost is approximately $30. Bring your waterproof ukulele (or borrow one of ours) to play some songs as we float this slow moving section of the river through the Old Mill District. After the float we’ll gather at Goodlife Brewery for no-host food and drink and a casual jam session in their outdoor yard. Plan to be there on Friday for this fun event!

ALPENGLOW PARK COMMUNITY PLAY-ALONG - Keep the fun going with an outdoor play-along at Alpenglow Park on Sunday June 28th from 11am to 1pm. Bring your beach chairs and ukuleles. Song sheets will be provided. Everyone is welcome!
