Public welcome (all ages and skill levels)!! Fundraiser and great chance to experience the Mosquito Hill Nature Center before the snow flies!  Email questions to robinc@oshkoshrhythm.com. 

Unite with us as One Global Family for what may become the world’s largest synchronized drum circle. Hundreds of locations will Unify and tune into a live prayer amplified from the heart of Burning Man. 

Indigenous Wisdom Keepers will be at the center of this prayer leading the drum circle and uniting the world into one heartbeat. 

This prayer is for purification of every heart, mind, and spirit on this planet. It is for the evolution of peace, harmony, and compassion for future generations.

Local time for the sychronized broadcast from BurningMan is 8:30pm. We will gather at 7pm and be treated to stories and songs led by some Native friends.  Also, Andy Mertens and friends will debut his song - Standing with Standing Rock. And, of course, some warm up community drumming.

Potluck snacks to share will be welcome.

Drums will be provided.

All ages and skill levels are welcome.

Community Drum Circle gathers around 7pm. 

There has been some talk of guerrilla drumming on College Ave. after...?...?

Near as we can tell, we've been at this officially for 20 years now. Closest the archives indicate is that around this time of year 20 years ago the first commercial property was the home of community drumming in Oshkosh. So, we're gonna drum and dance and have some FUN with our community.  AND, YOUR INVITED!

The Community Drum Circle "Between the Bridges"!

Join us for a journey in rhythm on the banks of the Fox River. The UWO Alumni Welcome Center is sponsoring a Community Drum Circle around their fire pit (if rain, we'll be inside)! 

Below is a blurb about the new event known as:

Thursdays Between the Bridges

Join the Oshkosh Convention & Visitors Bureau and their partners on the Fox River for a night of food, fun and music each Thursday night this summer. Whether it’s a concert at the Leach Amphitheater as part of the Waterfest Concert Series or a “band on a boat” traveling up the Fox River making stops at each of our partner locations, Thursday nights will be filled activity on the Oshkosh River Walk (between the bridges).  Each week features discounts, prizes and an excuse to start your weekend a day early.

When: Every Thursday night from June 19 through August 28.

Where: UW Oshkosh Alumni Welcome and Conference Center, Mahoney’s Restaurant, Becket’s Restaurant, Ground Round at River’s Edge, The Brooklyn Grill, and the Leach Amphitheater. All located on the Fox River, the Oshkosh River Walk and the WIOUWASH State Trail.
