The FREE all-day event starts at noon on Saturday, August 17th, at Bear Creek Park Garden Stage. Enjoy the music and dance stage as you take a journey through different states of awareness brought about through music, from the earthy rhythms of African drumming by Benin Master Drummer, Yoro Noukoussi to the heart strings of the divine Dilaruba played masterfully by Baljit Singh accompanied by tabla maestro Amarjeet Singh, both from the fusion band Indian Standard Time. The event will end with the vibrant songs of Sahaj Qawwali group.
