As a part of the Cary Art Loop, join One Tribe for a free, family- friendly, drum circle with fire spinning by Caroleeena & Friends! Leading up to fire performances starting at 8 p.m., the drum circle will involve singing and “low impact” West African dances. All are welcome, no experience needed, and participants can bring their own instrument or borrow one! Come celebrate our community!
One Tribe Drum Circle and Fire Show is a free community music and performance event held at the old library site in downtown Cary. The evening begins with an interactive rhythm circle where your kids can drum, sing, and learn simple West African dance steps. As darkness falls, professional fire spinners take over the space for a choreographed performance. What to Know: The event is completely free and open to all ages, with no prior musical experience required. You can bring your own hand drums and shakers, or borrow from the collection provided on site. The drumming and dancing run from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., followed immediately by the fire show. Street parking is available throughout downtown Cary, but arriving early helps secure a spot close to the Ivey-Ellington House. This is a fantastic Friday night option because it gets kids moving and hands-on with music before keeping them captivated by the visual spectacle of the fire artists.
No, you do not need your own instrument. While you are welcome to bring your own hand drums or shakers, the organizers provide instruments that your children can borrow for the circle.
What time does the fire spinning performance start?
