Drums Along the Hudson's Silent Auction 2022

2022 marks the 20th Anniversary of DRUMS ALONG THE HUDSON®: A Native American Festival and Multicultural Celebration which will take place on June 5, 2022 in Upper Manhattan’s Inwood Hill Park.

In conjunction with this milestone Lotus will host a 20th Anniversary Benefit event on Monday, May 9th, 2022. An integral part of our fundraising event will be a Silent Auction, offering unique and beautiful goods and services that represent our multi-cultural institution. There will be a cocktail reception, festive food, performances and special guests. The proceeds from this event will go towards matching the grant that supports this FREE festival.

Drums Along the Hudson is free to the public and is presented by Lotus Music & Dance in collaboration with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, sponsored in part by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York City Council.

It is a performance space, sanctuary, and center of education for traditional and indigenous performing arts forms. The mission is to keep alive and accessible the music and dance traditions of all world cultures. Lotus Music & Dance remains the only institution of its kind in New York City, with master artists from India, Korea, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, the South Pacific, Middle East, the Mohawk Nation, West Africa, and Spain collectively preserving their traditional arts.
