THE GREAT ADELAIDE UKULELE PICNIC 2016
‘The ideal of The Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic is to unite the South Australian ukulele community in the celebration of the uke for the benefit of all.’ Rick Whitehead (Facebook 29 September 2014)
Welcome Message
Welcome to the Third Annual Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic – the largest ukulele event in South Australia. Welcome also to this year’s Ukulele Picnic Songbook! Following the decision to extend the O-Bahn busway through Rymill Park in Adelaide’s Eastern Parklands we have had to find a new home for our picnic this year … and what a great location we have found in St Helens Park in Prospect. Many would be aware that the City of Prospect already has a close association with the ukulele through the Ukulele Challenge at the Tourrific Prospect Street Party which was held during The Tour Down Under in January. The ukulele players of Adelaide might not have broken the world record for the largest ukulele ensemble but we had a lot of fun trying!
The Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic is always held on the first Sunday of summer which this year falls on Sunday 4 December.
What a great way to welcome summer to Adelaide and all the summery things that go with it like playing a ukulele with friends in one of our sensational parks. So pack your picnic baskets, bring your picnic rugs and foldup chairs, grab your uke and don’t forget your ukulele picnic songbook … it’s right here in your hands!
I look forward to catching up with you all at The Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic 2016 … let’s just hope that it’s not quite as hot as last year!
Rick Whitehead, Organiser – The Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic

Thanks and kind regards to Rick Whitehead, Al Upton and Leanne Coleman for their tireless efforts in the ‘Picnic Office’.
Acknowledgement and gratitude to Richard Gibson for his work, professionalism and commitment to get the songs for the Picnic ready for the Song Book, and for making them available to all participating Ukulele Groups on the Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook website.
The unsung heroes of the Picnic are the various ukulele group co-ordinators who provide a vital information link between the organisers and the ukulele groups. Thank you so much for being willing to be the go-between with your groups.
The Picnic would not exist if it were not for the support, involvement and enthusiasm of the South Australian Ukulele groups and players who have either participated and/or told others of the Picnic.
The History of Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic … so far!!!
On 26 September 2014, Rick Whitehead posted on the Ukulele South Australia Facebook (FB) page ‘I’m just floating this idea and would welcome any feedback. With growing numbers participating in playing ukulele in Adelaide I think that we should try to do something together … at least once a year … to share the joy and spread the word … and maybe as a ukulele community help others as well. It’s been mentioned before but I really like the idea of an Adelaide ukulele picnic somewhere….’
Rick started ‘The Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic’ Facebook page on 29 September 2014. By November 2014 the Picnic site had attracted over a 100 members and today boasts over 450 members, most of whom are from the South Australian ukulele community.
‘The ideal of The Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic is to unite the South Australian ukulele community in the celebration of the uke for the benefit of all’ was Rick’s first post on the page and set the scene for an inclusive community event. His second post was to publicly acknowledge Nina Waves who ‘sowed the seed and suggested the great title for the event’ (FB 29/9/2014).
Rick, with the assistance of Al Upton and other members of the local ukulele community, organised the first Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic, held on Sunday, 7th December 2014 in Rymill Park, Adelaide – the first Sunday of summer.
Six ukulele groups volunteered to lead five songs each for a ‘Jam-A-Long’ at the Picnic and chose their songs from Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook website.
Al Upton prepared the artwork for the Song Book and publicity, and managed the Picnic FB page, providing detailed information on the more practical side of things.
Sharon Moss from Jumpin’ Flea Music Accessories generously donated a commemorative Kala spruce top tenor traveller ukulele for a silent auction which was conducted on FB with proceeds going toward the costs of running the Picnic.
The day was a perfect early summer day, not too hot or cold. Meg Riley MC’d the event with style and more than 300 people, with ukes in hand, attended the Picnic. A total of $892.80 was raised on the day for the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Foundation to support their new ukulele program.
Based on the success of the 2014 Picnic, the date for next The Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic was set for Sunday 6th December 2015 once again in Rymill Park. The park’s many trees provided ample shade making the location perfect for such an event.
Thirteen ukulele groups put up their hands to lead songs for the Picnic and the Marilyn Jetty Swimmers were introduced to lead ‘A Bicycle Built for Two’ which was later used for the Tourrific Prospect Guinness Work Record Ukulele Challenge held in early 2016.
Jacaranda Music donated a Kala 8 string tenor ukulele to be raffled prior to the Picnic with the lucky recipient receiving his prize at the picnic.
Adelaide experienced unseasonally extreme hot weather on the day of the picnic and many who had planned to attend chose not to, including a full bus load from Goolwa. To accommodate the conditions the picnic program was shortened to reduce exposure to the 40+ degree Adelaide heat. It was wonderful to see that around 200 stoic ukers braved the heat. Just over $600 was raised for the chosen charity CanTeen. The SA Water Quench Bench was a huge hit on the day!
This year, with Rymill Park being redeveloped due to the O-Bahn extension, the Ukulele Picnic has moved to St Helens Park in Prospect – a ukulele friendly zone. Eighteen ukulele groups from across the state will lead songs at the Picnic and Jacaranda Music has once again generously donated a Kala tenor ukulele to assist with finance.
The Great Adelaide Ukulele Picnic remains a non-profit event, bringing together the South Australian ukulele community on a summer’s afternoon in a park to enjoy 6 hours of peace, love and ukulele!
