Oxford Cultural Arts Commission to hold community drum circle Saturday

Join the Oxford Cultural Arts Commission at 5 p.m. Sept. 26 for Gather & Groove, a welcoming community drum circle, at 486 Oxford Road led by local facilitator Ken Parker. 

Together we’ll explore rhythm as a way to connect, relax, and create something spontaneous as a community.

Drum circles are open to everyone—whether you’ve been playing percussion for years or have never picked up a drum before. Ken will help guide the circle so that each participant can find their place in the rhythm as the groove builds and evolves.

Participants are encouraged to bring a drum, shaker, bucket, or any object that makes a joyful sound. A limited number of instruments will also be available to borrow, so newcomers are always welcome.

All ages and experience levels are invited to join. Come for a few minutes or stay for the whole circle as we gather, listen, and let the rhythm carry us.
