**typically starts about 1.5 hours before sunset!!!
The city has been doing different constructions and events around our usual location… so keep in mind if our area is crowded or occupied we typically locate ourselves elsewhere.. lately we go just a little each of Jackson Ave, by the palm trees near the porta potty!!! If it rains we relocate to the pavilion or the stage area!!!!
This is a free weekly event. All are welcome! Bring and play your drum, dance, hula hoop, spin fire, take photos, or just be a spectator! Children and pet-friendly. This is about community and about simply gathering each week to have a great time on our gorgeous beach.
We gather on Front Beach approximately an hour and a half before sunset every Saturday. We meet on the beach across from Ft. Maurapas Park. **In the event of rain, we meet under the pavilion at Ft. Maurapas Park.
Bring your Djembe, bongos, tambourines, and/or any other percussion instrument, and plan to play along with others until sunset. It’s a celebration! Come and play, learn, or just come to watch. Hula hoops, dancing, and general merriment are all encouraged.
We do play traditional West African rhythms. Here is a helpful YouTube playlist of the rhythms that we typically play:
