Events of Interest
This is an ongoing and current list of drum circles, pow-wows, meet ups, and events related to drumming. I focus mainly on the local Charlotte scene but I welcome all input here. If you know of an event or circle that would fit in this category please let me know about it and I can add it.
Drumming Events
-Noda Open Drum Circle
Every first and third friday of the month is a free 'gallery crawl' in the NoDa (North Davidson St.) district of North Charlotte. On these nights a drum circle emerges around 8pm and will last well into the night. If you are in the area check it out. There is usually a lot more going on than just the drum circle, so come out!
