Michigan Hiryu Daiko is a dynamic professional taiko drumming group from the greater Kalamazoo area. Taiko is the only Japanese traditional drum without a sound box and only one skin. It is played with a drumstick while hanging it with the other hand. Hiryu Daiko is energy embodied – do not miss this!

For over 36 years, this outdoor artistic extravaganza has featured local and regional artists showcasing original paintings, jewelry, garden art, pottery, art demonstrations, and live entertainment! This free, two-day arts-filled adventure is part of downtown Kalamazoo’s official JumpStart celebration which partners with several popular outdoor events including Art on The Mall, the Do-Dah Parade, Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Fair, Kalamazoo Pride, and Concerts in the Park!

Art on the Mall is a program of the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo.
