On Beat with Culture Days 2018

Thank you to everyone who attended our Culture Days drum circles on September 29th! The sun came out to join us in rhythm and community. We started the afternoon with Val Vint and the Buffalo Gals leading an Indigenous drum circle, followed by African drumming with Jay Stoller and Drum Cafe Winnipeg. We were so happy to be part of the hundreds of drumming and rhythm-inspired events that occurred across the country in celebration of Culture Days and Nuit Blanche. Scroll down for some photos from our afternoon!

‍All photos were taken by Sam MacKinnon, our Social Media Coordinator.
