Brahm’s Tams Drum Circle at Third Beach
Brahm’s Tams is an informal drum circle that gathers at Third Beach in Stanley Park on Tuesday evenings in summer. Drummers, dancers and spectators come together to watch the sunset over English Bay. It is free and open to everyone.
When it happens
The drum circle meets on Tuesday evenings in good weather, roughly from May to September, building up towards sunset. It is not a formally organized event, so it may not happen on rainy days. The 2027 season is expected to follow the same pattern.
