On Sunday evenings, about one hour
before sunset, everyone is invited to the
Drum Circle on Englewood Beach. You
can participate by bringing a percussion
instrument, hula-hoop or by dancing along.
However, many people just bring chairs or
a beach blanket and enjoy watching. It’s a
good idea to check the weather on the Drum
Circle Facebook page (@Englewood Drum
Circle - Official Page) before you go, as the
drum circle is weather permitting.
Cruisin’ on Dearborn is held the first
Saturday of each month from approximately
2 to 8 pm, on West Dearborn Street.
Hundreds of collectors and car enthusiasts
bring their antique cars, hot rods, muscle
cars and more to the street, attracting
hundreds of car lovers and spectators.
Much of the area’s nightlife takes
advantage of the warm temperatures,
offering outdoor venues for enjoying food,
your favorite beverage and a variety of music.
