Every Sunday at sunset, Siesta Key Beach transforms into one of the most unique free events in Florida. Hundreds of locals and visitors gather at the pavilion to drum, dance, and watch the sun drop into the Gulf. No tickets, no schedule — just show up before sunset. The siesta key drum circle runs year-round, rain or shine.
