The ugly stick has played a role in Newfoundland party times throughout the years. It’s about four feet long, on which bottle caps, tin cans, small bells and other noisemakers are attached. Add a boot at the bottom and you're good to go! It is played by thumping the stick, and striking its attachments with a "saw"--a notched stick that really gets those bottle-caps rattling!  Build an ugly stick at one of our two workshops and make mad mummer music at the Mummers Parade.

​

BYOB: Bring your own boot (or sneaker)!
