| - If you have never been, this is the coolest thing EVER!
Every Sunday, starting about noon, many gather at the base of Mt Royal, (Mt Royal Park, Rue Sherbrooke) to drum, dance, and unify as one.
From May to September drummers, and dancers of all ages, genders, cultural backgrounds all come to drum and dance.
At the STATUE.
I have seen hippies and gay leather guys, elderly woman, a handicapped child in a wheelchair with his father, they all drum to the beat which changes to a leader with a WHISTLE which goes fast to slow INTENSE to faint.
Vendors come to sell incense and wares of pottery and jewelry or tie dye tee-shirts.
Local people come with their DOGS to play frisbee or DANCE to the BEAT.
Tourists come curious as to what this drumming is all about?
Some take photos and smile in amazement and hope that they can take some of this wonderful community energy back to their home.
This is all FREE and FUN to all who visit Montreal please COME and check out this cool and special event as local flavor like this is hard to find ANYWHERE else.
It is BOYD (Bring your own drum).
