On Saturday, July 29th  the Lithuanian Music Hall will be holding its 30th Annual Lithuanian Family Day Picnic.  Last year's picnic was a great success, with great food, games, music and fun.  This year we will be returning to Soupy Island Playground in Thorofare, NJ, on the banks of the Delaware River.

Celebrate the last Saturday of July with family and friends at the Lithuanian Music Hall's annual Family Day Picnic at the Soupy Island Playground, an 18 acre site on the Delaware River.  This historic  park has slides, swings, two swimming pools (one for very young children), a carousel and many more attractions for children as well as adults on  spacious picnic grounds.

This year we have lowered the cost to make the picnic a more family-friendly event. You may bring your own food or buy refreshments at the picnic. Both Lithuanian and domestic beer as well as non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. Please be aware that alcoholic beverages may not be brought into the park.

Join us for a day of Old Fashioned Family Fun: Lithuanian Food and Drink, Music, Games. Proceeds, if there are any, after paying for park rental and organizing expenses will help us to keep the Music Hall open.

Hoping to see everyone at the Picnic,

Timothy Dorr, President of the Board of Directors
Lithuanian Music Hall Association
