Join us for a Caribbean-flavored celebration of the holiday season with Des Moines’ premier steel band, Tropical Steel. Performing their “sweet island sounds” around Iowa since 1997, this orchestra of talented multi-instrumentalists has been featured at numerous festivals and events including the World Food & Music Festival, Special Olympics USA Games, and the Iowa State Fair. Bringing their signature Caribbean and Latin vibes, Tropical Steel will warm up the holidays with unique versions of traditional Christmas carols, favorite holiday tunes from various cultures, and songs of celebration and peace. Expect a family-friendly, joyous explosion of sound and color that will leave you astounded and full of holiday cheer as only the steel pan can. Don’t be surprised if the limbo pole makes an appearance and your family gets invited down to check out the instruments!

This is a One World Series event. Special thanks to Rapson Collaborative for their generous support of this program.
