Birthday | Cutie Circle

Join us on Sunday, May 12, for an outdoor ukulele jam at the beautiful amphitheatre, the Coquitlam Town Centre Park Community Plaza.

The Cutie Circle’s 10th Birthday Jam will be an afternoon of fun with ukulele, hula, and demonstration of instruments made from the trees in Coquitlam.

Thank you for your enthusiastic response. Registration has now closed and all packets have been spoken for as of 4:00 pm on May 11. Spectators and strummers are still very welcome to join but may need to share packets with other attendees.

The Cuties Band will be leading our ukulele jam. We are very honoured that Kalaya’s Dancers will be performing hula, and Larry Parks will be representing the Trees to Instruments Project (aka tree2music) to showcase musical instruments built by local luthiers using trees cut down from the Coquitlam water main project.

There will be fabulous door prizes (e.g., t-shirts, mugs, an ukulele, etc.).

We thank the City of Coquitlam for renting us the venue.
