"If you have never been, this is the coolest thing EVER! \nEvery Sunday, starting about noon, many gather at the base of Mt Royal, (Mt Royal Park, Rue Sherbrooke) to drum, dance, and unify as one. \n\nFrom May to September drummers, and dancers of all ages, genders, cultural backgrounds all come to drum and dance. \nAt the STATUE. \n\nI 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.\n\nVendors come to sell incense and wares of pottery and jewelry or tie dye tee-shirts. \nLocal people come with their DOGS to play frisbee or DANCE to the BEAT. \n\nTourists come curious as to what this drumming is all about? \nSome take photos and smile in amazement and hope that they can take some of this wonderful community energy back to their home. \n\nThis 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.\n\nIt is BOYD (Bring your own drum)."^^ .
