Coconut Groove Drum circle this weekend and Wet Full moon Miami Beach

Hello there,
Pretty sure you have noticed how the weather has been treating us in the last couple of weeks. Tomorrow, if weather allows, the Coconut Groove drum circle continues its expansion into more drums and music. They’re going back to their previous location at the Mayfair promenade. Be sure to check miamidrums.com drum page and check it out.

Also,
This time around the Full moon comes in the middle of the week – June Monday 4th – some people plan to go to the beach this weekend instead – watch out for some showers, or perhaps wait until the end of the week (The moon would still be bright and high up in the sky for a nice drum circle)
Regardless of what you choose, don’t forget to keep playing and enjoy.

All the best to ya’.

Coconut groove drum circleLast drum circle was interesting. There was a nice crowd of drummers [perhaps acoustics are not the greatest, since it’s hard for people to hear each other in open spaces] but the energy kept flowing and crowds were changing constantly.

This Saturday March 3 check out the Coconut Groove Drum circle:

From 7 to 10 Pm. Seating is mostly provided. You should bring your drum- some extra might be available- Mayfair Promenade (Florida Ave & Rice St) in Coconut Grove, FL

Not sure If I’d be able to make it to this one, but if you can, make it the very best yet!

I hope you are doing good. This weekend make sure you take your drumming hands to the Coconut Groove drum circle. It’s always a lot of fun and this time parallel to the Full moon Miami celebration.

We will be drumming and dancing, this Saturday 4th of February, in the open air at the Mayfair in the Grove, located at the corner of Grand Avenue and Mary Street. We will drum in the Promenade, in the open area near Florida Street Mayfair entrance, across the Promenade from the Music Conservatory, in the same open area where we met in October. There are parking garages in the Mayfair complex and on the corner of Oak Street and Mary, and parking lots near the Mayfair as well as parking on the streets. We will light up the night and rev up the energy of the Grove Art Walk. Come, and discover or rediscover the magic, joy, and healing power of the drum. Extra drums and other percussion instrument will be available along with water and seating. All you need to bring are happy hands. It starts at 7 PM until 10PM.

Then you can head straight to the Miami Beach Full moon celebration at its usual time and place. Check Miamidrums.com menu on the left for it’s exact time and place. Be aware that since this drum circle is on a Saturday, attendees numbers might be massive!

Some people also attend the day before, Friday, celebration.
Regardless of what you chose to do, don’t stop the drumming.
Take care
