Description Feel the beat of the drums this Festival. Out of devastation we’re creating music to close the 2019 Festival with a special community event. In 1979, Darwin Festival emerged out of the destruction of Cyclone Tracy. In 2019, we’re crafting musical instruments out of the iconic African mahogany trees planted post-Tracy and felled by Cyclone Marcus in March 2018. Drumming Up the Storm is a mass log drumming spectacular starring 40 drummers performing on 40 log drums. Performers of all ages and levels of experience from across Darwin will be led by master log drummer Airileke Ingram in a pulsing chorus.
