2023 Brahm's Tams Drum Circle in Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Brahm's Tams Drum Circle is an informal beach jam of drummers modeled after a similar drum jam in Montreal.
It is done for the "Love of Unity, Rhythm and Community".
2023 is the 18th year that this drum circle happens. It occurs every sunny Tuesday night from March through September after work (6pm) until sunset (10pm or earlier) at Third Beach in Stanley Park.
On nice summer evenings, there can be tens of drums and hundreds of people listening and dancing to the beats! If you are a drummer of any level, you can bring your drum and join in. If you are a non-drummer, you can also come to listen and dance!
This event is completely free.
Note: There is usually some herb being smoked so it may not be completely family friendly.
