The Coconut groove drum circle is not currently being held. Some people are attending the Sunday Oak Groove park circle or Legion’s park
Coconut groove drum circle is organized by Mark Richards, from the Miami drums Yahoo! Group.
It used to be held across the street from out of Africa every Sunday at noonish (1 -2 Pm) but It got moved back to Peacock park every Saturday at 4 Pm

I’m updating the Coconut groove drum circle with its latest time & location at the Kennedy Park - Coconut groove, 2400 S Bayshore Dr Miami, FL 33133. It starts this Sunday 5 PM.
July 12, 2007 Update
Coconut groove drum circle goes back to its original location down in Peacock Park. Times are the same. Depending on the weather, we’ll use the boardwalk area or the small shelter roof section.
Bring your own seating!

Yes more changes, drum circle at Peacock Park would be every Saturday from now on - [That’s a sad news for me since I won’t be able to make it on that day, but I hope it’s a fantastic news to you!]
Location and concept remains the same, bring your drum and seating!

Comment by Brad 04.05.07 @ 5:26 pmPlease join me in thanking Mark Richards, also recently crowned as ” King Mango ” for organizing the drum circle in Coconut Grove on week ends. IT IS A BLAST!!!! ( and i am sure everybody that attended so far will share this feeling ).Hope to see you all there soon. JLP
Comment by John Luke 04.06.07 @ 6:01 pmThe Coconut Grove drum circle is moving around. Too often in the same spot has drawn noise complaints. Moving around gives some relief to the person (we’re pretty sure that it’s only one person) who complained. We’ll be back in Peacock Park in few weeks; but not every weekend. This Sunday’s drum circle is at Kennedy Park on Bayshore at 5PM. I say 5 PM because that’s when I plan to get there. The drum circle actually starts when the first drummer arrives and begins to drum. That could be anyone (you?) at 3 or 4.
Comment by Mark Richards 04.18.07 @ 7:51 pmSorry to miss you. This Sunday I’ll be at EarthFest for Earth Day http://www.greenermiami.com/earthfest/
and I invite you to bring the drums over there.
I have attended the drum circle at the beach a couple of times but I’m really glad to find a group that meets more often than once a month. Thank you Mark Richards, anyway, can some one please tell me where you are planing to meet the next couple of weeks(late may, early june)?
thanks
Hi Beth,
The coconut groove drum circle is held every Sunday Around 5 Pm in Kennedy Park. It only gets suspended if weather conditions are not safe [Tropical Storm advisories, hurricanes, etc]
The Floating Drum in Miami will convene Saturday (9/1/07) from 5 to 7PM Peacock Park in Coconut Grove next to the playground. Bring your drum. Bring your own seating
