WRE News: Miami Beach Shutting Down South Pointe Drum Circle Starting Today

Miami Beach, FL – November 19, 2023 – Miami Beach is putting an end to the weekly drum circle and dance performances at South Pointe Park, with a city-issued notice stating that such activities will be banned starting November 19. The move follows complaints from nearby condo residents about the noise generated by the popular Sunday sunset gatherings that gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision has sparked a debate between advocates of public park use and residents seeking peace. The city has offered an alternative location at the 10th Street beach “for the time being” as a compromise.
