Parks & Nature
"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, and excitement. 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. The scene, every Sunday, is inviting and positive, so you bring the whole family to this lively celebration of life!" - https://www.washingtonparks.net/rhythm-in-the-park-drum-circle/
