The Summer Solstice the longest day of the year, has long been held in high esteem by many societies around the world. Join our community drumming circle to celebrate this day, on Lincoln's lovely sandy Lake Ontario beach. The grass verge before the beach will allow accessibility for scooters and wheelchairs. There are no benches or seats, so bring a lawn chair or blanket if you'd like to sit, but be prepared to dance!
Coming into the park stay to the left and slowly drive to the beach area. Parking is limited and it would be nice to save space for wheelchair accessible vehicles. So please consider unloading your belongings, setting up, and then driving back to the main parking lot at the top of the hill. It may save overcrowding and people getting stuck too!
This free family event has been held at Port Dalhousie's Lakeside Park the past 10 years and has grown to become a gathering of about 200 people. For the first time, this year, we are expanding our Drumming Down the Sun to this neighbouring beach in Lincoln to give families the choice of beaches to attend.
One Solstice, One Lake, Two Beaches:
Lakeside Park by carousel (loonie donation) or Charles Daley Park (free).
