The Nashua Park & Recreation Department is proud to announce the 1st Ever NH Ukulele Picnic to be held Saturday, August 24, 2013 at the Greeley Park Bandshell from 12 to 4 pm. This is free event!

BONUS FOOTAGE: Make sure you watch the accompanying YouTube video featuring Bishop Guertin senior Ben Chung playing an ah-maze-ing rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Ben is one of the featured performers at the picnic.

Bring your own ukulele and help set the NH record for strumming! Song selection: "This Land is Your Land."  Learn more on the official event Facebook Page.
