It was a celebration of culture at River Market on Sunday as the Dumpsta Dragons musical trio entertained young visitors.
The musical trio was onstage as part of Culture Days, a nationwide celebration of the arts that happened over the weekend.
The group performed music using a variety of traditional ethnic instruments, as well as invented instuments fabricated out of recycled household items.
They also got kids involved in the fun with a chance to get hands-on with instruments.
Their River Market performance was brought to the stage by ArtStarts, a not-for-profit organization that promotes art programs for young people.
The next ArtStarts workshop at River Market is set for Sunday, Oct. 26, when Sandi Henrich will lead sessions in painting the coastal forests, inspired by Emily Carr's post-Impressionist work. It's aimed at ages six to 12.
