The Singalongs offer members the opportunity to connect with each other and find joy in singing favorite songs. There will be no vocal “parts,” or practice sessions, though informal harmonies will be welcome—we’ll just be singing for fun.
MUSIC: We will provide three-ring binders of song lyrics. Proposed themes for 2025:
5/20/25: Our favorite tunes from the 2024 Singalong season
6/17/25: The Beatles
7/15/25: More favorite tunes from the 2024 Singalong season
8/19/25: Broadway musical hits from the 1940's to 1960's
9/16/25: Even more favorite tunes from the 2024 Singalong season
10/21/25: 1960s Greatest Hits
LOCATION: Our monthly one-hour Singalongs are at the Tabernacle (covered open pavilion) in Laurel Park, Northampton. There are wooden benches as well as folding chairs, along with ample space for wheelchairs and walkers.
DIRECTIONS: Laurel Park is on North King St. (Route 5&10), about 3 miles north of downtown Northampton, MA. The entrance is about a mile north of Big Y and River Valley Market, across from the State Police Barracks. It’s just south of exit 21 off Interstate 91. Look for the stone gates with a Laurel Park sign above them. We recommend carpooling.

WEATHER CONCERNS/CANCELLATION: In the event of heavy wind or rain, lightning, or extreme heat, we will cancel it on the
NN Calendar by 9 am that day.
BUGS: The bugs can be a bother. You may wish to bring insect repellent.
WATER: Please bring your own water.
