Ukulele Fall Foliage Event at Eustis Estate in Milton, MA

• What we'll do

The Blue Hills Fall Foliage is a two-day event, with members of Ukulele Union of Boston and other ukulele enthusiasts providing live music for the first day on 3rd November 2018. The meet-up event hosts are the leaders of the clubs that have been meeting regularly in Boston and surrounding towns.

If you like to join us (for all or part of the programme) to perform at this exciting event, please RSVP so we can get a headcount and include you in our updates.

Bring your ukulele and voice to celebrate autumn at the newest addition to Historic New England. To prepare, join a rehearsal (jam session) at one of the various UUoB meet-ups (to be listed shortly) or simply download the song sheets (PDF) and meet us on the day.
