From a common starting point, unique cultures, histories and experiences shape our voices and viewpoints, but the beat of the human heart offers us a way to remain connected. Student organizations and campus departments come together to celebrate our connections through music, dance, food, and fun. Come out and support our cultural organizations for an evening filled with performances of song and dance from different cultures.

The Festival of the Drums is an opportunity for the UCR community to come together in a celebration of togetherness. Student groups and campus departments come together to celebrate our connections through music and laughter. The Bell Tower lawn is transformed physically and spiritually into the cultural crossroads of the campus, as the sights, sounds, and smells of our incredible community blend around the pounding rhythms of our beating hearts. Music fills the air. Performers take the stage. Student groups operate food and game booths. Community is created.
