Treasure Island Moves to Place Restrictions on Drum Circle

For years now, there has been a drum circle beginning at sundown on Sunday at the beach on Treasure Island. The Commission, responding to claims that the drum circle has evolved from a gathering of Pinellas area musicians into a hedonistic maelstrom of drugs and littering - our own little Burning Man festival writ small - began making moves to limit or even eliminate to weekly musical event at a July 17th meeting.

A proposed ordinance would disperse the drum circle by 9 pm.
