About this event
A crate of drums, shakers and assorted colourful percussion is opened up in the Kids Area and children are simply invited to make noise with it. Teaching artists steer things gently — play alone, play with a parent, or fall into an impromptu group jam. It runs on third Tuesdays, so 18 August is the only date inside the window before the September finale.
Why we picked it
A genuinely free, hands-on music session for small children in midtown, on a specific date — much more useful to families than another open-ended park listing.
Free entry
Free. Instruments are lent from the park's own collection. No age range specified by the organiser.
