Drum, Dance and Didgeridoo Festival
Saturday July 29th, noon - 10:00pm
Wingfield Park Complex, Reno, Nevada.
Located at the corner of 1st and Arlington Streets. This is a FREE family friendly event for all ages!
Drum, Dance and Didgeridoo Festival (DDDF) is a free, multi-cultural, family event. Eight local Truckee Meadows groups are collaborating to put on a day of world music, ethnic dance and good vibrations. New additions this year include Art Cars of the Playa, the Giant Mantis, Mini Man and Poi Dancers and expansion into three downtown parks.
The festival will kick off at noon with free play shops demonstrating West African Drum, Percussion Games, Poi Spin Dance, Afro-Brazilian Dance, World Fusion Bellydance and Australian Didgeridoo. A hands on Art Booth will be open for people to create masks, music makers and props for the late afternoon parade. The DDDF organizers want attendees to dress in festival attire, participate in drum circles, parade, fashion shows and play shops.
Take a journey around the globe and join in the healing spirit. Experience the primal music and dances that ancient cultures have inspired.
Food and eclectic vendors selling drums, ethnic dance apparel, didgeridoo and other worldly items will be present.
DDDF is sponsored, in part by the Reno Arts & Culture Commission, Reno's Park, Recreation and Community Service, the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
