 If You Go
WHAT: Kaleidoscope Gathering
WHEN: 7-10:30 p.m. Friday, April 3
WHERE: North Beach Community Park, New Smyrna Beach. Take Peninsula Avenue north to Sapphire Road. Turn right. The beachfront park is at the end of the road. The party is on the beach.
INFO: Free bonfire and drum circle. Adults only. Try to carpool; parking is limited. Bring your snacks, water, instruments, friends, a chair and a blanket. No dogs or alcoholic drinks allowed on the beach. |
technically our last beach bonfire event until November. But it got your attention didn't it?
Since we can't have any light sources on the beach from May through Oct. 31, we thought we'd have one more hurrah before sea turtle nesting season.
Three8six.com and Drum4wellness are hosting the beach gathering on April 3rd. Join us beside the bonfire for a night of recreational music making.
So what does that mean?
Everyone is invited to create their own free entertainment at the Kaleidoscope Gathering.
We'll provide the wood for the fire and you play the music.
Karl Miranda, who runs Drum4wellness, will be facilitating the drum circle, which, by the way, is not limited to just drums. So bring your flute, harmonica, or guitar. We'll make it work.
And don't feel bad if you don't know what you're doing. No experience is necessary!
Miranda will also have about 35 extra drums on hand and some other instruments to lend out. Look for people wearing Three8six T-shirts or Drum4wellness caps to find them or just grab one from the blue tarp.
These loaner drums have a "D4W" on the drum head. Return them to the tarp so other people can use them.
And not to be a downer, but be careful about using other people's instruments. Some people take it very personally.
Other than that, bring something to sit on, and some snacks and water and have fun.

Oh, and check out some video from our last beach event, Fire Up the Beat, which was on Feb. 28th. We estimate at least 300 people stopped by for the party-- bringing everything from hula hoops to glowing poi balls.
