The Southern New Hampshire Ukulele Group is holding their 8th annual ukulele picnic - “SNHUGFEST” on Saturday, September 16^th, on the Rotary Arts Pavilion Stage at Henry Law Park in Dover NH.  This free, all-day festival features ukulele performances, food vendors, raffle prizes and more.  Bands are coming from near and far including the Unlikely Strummers, Amy Kucharik, Kristina Looney, Ukulele Strummers of Southern Maine, the Ukulidiots, the Desperate Strings Trio, Uke Pitt, Steve Roy,  the Ukes of Hazard, the Kukuleles, and June and the Honey Badgers.

The fun starts at 11am, with play-along jams all day, so bring your uke!  All of the proceeds from SNHUGFEST 2023 support the Ukulele Kids Club.  To date, SNHUG has raised over $100,000 for the UKC, which provides music therapy and instruments to hospitalized children right here in New Hampshire and nationwide.  June Pinkham, one of the organizers of this event, states “This is a team effort, and we are all very proud of what we have accomplished to date. Bringing this joyful instrument along with music therapy sessions, to a sick child brings smiles and provides comfort to both patients, caregivers and families.”
 
SNHUG is an all-volunteer, non-profit group of ukulele enthusiasts, that meet twice-a-month to jam, practice, do open mics, and generally have fun.  They're open to any and all levels of ability and can be found on Facebook or Meetup.com.
