Alongside the exhibition, the ʻUkulele Project, led by Larry Santos, will host kanikapila throughout the day, so bring your ʻukulele and jump in. The ʻUkulele Guild of Hawaiʻi is dedicated to the preservation, perpetuation, and promotion of the ʻukulele as a significant cultural icon here on the island of its birth. The Guild serves as a clearinghouse of knowledge for the purpose of continually preserving and improving the art and craft of ʻukulele making and cultivating the historical background of the ʻukulele and its musical importance.
