As an added bonus this year, festival organizers are going to try to break a world record. Now you're probably thinking, ok, maybe they want to break an attendance record? Nope. This year, they want to set a new record for the most ukulele players playing at the same time. Last year, 1,200 played together in Montreal, and this year, organizers are inviting ukulele players to meet up at Place d'Youville on July 15 at 3:30pm to beat that record. Ukulele player, unite!
