About Us

The Las Cruces Ukes on stage at a performance.

The Las Cruces Ukes is a community group of ukulele enthusiasts based in Las Cruces, New Mexico. We are a nonprofit organization with the goal of sharing the love of ukulele music throughout our area. As part of that mission, we host free adult practices every week with Strum for Fun and performance groups. We also perform at a wide range of events in the area, having performed well more than 100 times since our first gig in 2014.

To help spread that ukulele love even farther, we host the annual Las Cruces UkeFest. The festival includes a concert, which is open to the non-ukulele-playing public, workshops, a jam session, an open mic, vendors, a prize drawing, and lots of fun. Learn more at www.lascrucesukefest.com.
