Drums not Guns, a local community service group, is hosting a Drum Extravaganza in support for the “Season for Nonviolence”. Drummers, dancers, children and families are invited to participate.

Drum Extravaganza will bring attention to the idea of peace and nonviolence through rhythm in support of the “Season for Nonviolence”. The “Season for Nonviolence” framed by the anniversaries of the assassinations of Mohandas Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., offers a 10-week period to learn from the lives and teachings of these models. The Season for Peace and Nonviolence runs Jan. 30 to April 4 of each year.

The event will include community drum circles, drum performances, drumming games and lessons along with drum making and drum repair displays. People of all ages and skill levels are invited to join. Drums and rhythm instruments will be available for those who want to do more than tap their feet.
