Welcome to the Nelson Community Drumming Experience as part of Rhythm by Nature’s Community Drumming Tour!

A two day festival, on May 24th and 25th, focused on building community by reconnecting to nature through local waste reduction solutions, live demonstrations, inspiring learning opportunities, and local arts and cultural experiences. Enjoy workshops, tours, demos, a repair cafe, a recycle market and live entertainment.

A two-part workshop teaches participants to create their own painted floorcloth: decorative mats for home and hearth. Instructor Lily Mayall’s own beautiful floorcloths embrace playful narratives, but workshop-goers are free tell their own tales.

During the height of the Cold War, in the 1950s and 1960s, nearly 50 bunkers were constructed across Canada. In 2017, the Nelson Museum began work on restoring the space and opening it to the public. You can join a tour of one of the Museumʼs best-loved spaces!

Get ready for a free, inclusive celebration of community, culture, and creativity right here in Nelson!
