If you need a smile, Bruce Hake and some of his closest friends know to grab a ukulele and start playing.

The Ukulele Society of Door County has grown to over 30 players in recent years. Many players will join the fun on August 31st to celebrate National Play on the Porch Day in Fish Creek. Much like racquet sports enthusiasts have leaned on pickleball to get back into the game, the same can be said about musicians and ukuleles. After the club began over a decade ago, Hake is thrilled that people continue to take an interest in playing, and the club grows year after year.

Hake says they play familiar tunes that people can sing along with when they play at the Noble Square Gazebo in Fish Creek beginning at 10 a.m.
