For a true taste of Asheville, stop by the Drum Circle on Friday nights (warm weather months) in Pritchard Park downtown on Patton Avenue at College Street. Join folks of every age and description. Watch people dance to the thunderous rhythm of the dozens of drums. Or better yet, join in by playing or dancing! See the individuality and diversity of Asheville.

This is a free event. The drummers begin showing up around 7 PM and the crowd builds until it ends at 10 PM. Don't miss the drum circle... It will make you feel good all over!

The drum circle has been active since 2001.

For another authentic Asheville event, go to the Shindig on the Green.

In May 2009, the Asheville Downtown Association presented several drums and accessories to the Asheville Drum Circle.“We are so fortunate to have this group of people who create this music in Pritchard Park,” said Byron Greiner, the president of the association's board of directors, in a statement. “The circle encourages participation and we are donating instruments to support their activities.” The association gave a 55-gallon dun dun, two djembes, an ashiko, a cowbell, three sets of claves and three shakers.
