Welcome to the DC Drum Circle.
The 40+ year tradition is still going strong in Meridian Hill (Malcolm X Park). Each Sunday at 3 PM, the park is filled with drums, dance, excitement and characters.
What started as a small group of African American drummers and dancers has evolved into a multicultural mix of tight-rope walkers, hula-hoopers, yogis, and jugglers.
Many say the drum circle gives them a spiritual and social lift that’s hard to find anywhere else in Washington. It's a creative outlet, one of the many best kept secrets in DC, shrouded by the political machine.
The scene, every Sunday, is inviting and positive, it's a lively celebration of life!
