About
Laguna's full moon drum circle is a community gathering, not a show. Drummers, dancers and first-timers meet on the sand at Aliso Beach, near Lost Pier Café, and the rhythm builds as the full moon rises over the hills.
There's no stage and no ticket. Bring a drum or a shaker if you have one, or just a blanket and a warm layer for the evening chill. Locals pack out everything they bring, so the beach looks the same in the morning.
