The Second Annual Hawaiian Steel Guitar Festival will be held in Dover, NJ on Saturday, October 8th.
This is a great honor to Joseph Kekuku, the man who is credited with the invention of the instrument we all love.
Dover is the burial place of Joseph Kekuku. This event is sponsored by the Dover Renaissance, Inc. and the Dover Area Historical Society.
There will be an English and traditional Hawaiian graveside ceremony at 4 p.m. at the Orchard Street Cemetary.
Following that, the historic 1906 vaudeville-era Baker Theater will be the location of a social hour complete with a dinner buffet. On stage, there will be line up of steel guitar performers and entertainers from Hawaii.
Contact George Laurie at 973-361-6205 for complete details.
