Ukulele fans won't need to board a plane to get their fix today.

That's because the Hawaiian Islands are coming to the Cerritos Park East Community Center, where enthusiasts of the four- stringed, fretted instrument can enjoy almost-continuous live music, and learn some of the finer points of finger-picking and lei- making, at the Third Annual Southern California Ukulele Festival.

About 50 hours of workshops will be held on Hawaiian music and arts from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., while musicians will play from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. About 1,000 people are expected to come, said spokesman Tom Noble.
