First Friday Drum Circle Returns for 2023!

Join us in Leonardtown on First Fridays for the return of our 2023 Audience Participation Drum Circles!

This is a free event open to all ages and skill levels.

We will have percussion instruments available to borrow, but please feel welcome to bring your own. We also have free egg shakers available which you can keep afterwards.

Clap your hands, dance, or just stop by to watch and listen, etc. - no instruments needed for those options!

Bring your own chair or a picnic blanket to sit on. You may also want to bring bug spray since we will be outside!

The location for this event will be at the grassy area adjacent to our office/ the Leonardtown Arts Center (22660 Washington St, Leonardtown, MD 20650). If the grass is wet due to earlier rains then we will meet at the parking lot right behind our building.

If the weather is poor (raining/ very imminent rain) this event will be moved indoors or canceled. Announcements of any changes will be made on Facebook. Feel free to also call us at 240-309-4061 for any updates.

Come join us a few minutes early to set up your drums and chairs. Stay for the whole time or come and go as you please!

Sponsored by St. Mary's County Arts Council and the SoMar Drummers.

Email: info@smcart.org if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!

For select months (May and October) the Drum Circle will be held from 5 to 5:30 PM and will be followed by a drumline performance from 5:30 to 6 PM. Click here to learn more about the drumline events.
