Drums in the Park
Saturday, July 16
Town Plaza Park Los Gatos

A drumming and talking exchange bringing together unheard voices from local communities - from guest speakers Ann Jealous & Caroline Haskell of the book Combined Destinies to West African, African-American, Yoruba and Vietnamese American performances. Visit their website to register and learn more about this incredible event.
Make your own Prayer Flags to be displayed at Drums in the Park. Prayer flags originate from Nepal and the Tibetan mountains where they are traditionally a symbol of healing. It is believed that when the wind blows past the flags, it takes the prayers, wishes and good intentions with it, dispersing them across the vast world. In this way, they are thought to benefit all people.

Click the flier to read the instructions. Prayer flags can be made and/or dropped off at the Chamber office.
Sounds of Summer!
