Who doesn't love a free night out? I know we certainly do. As travellers, we are always looking for great entertainment and as we float into new towns, we always check out the City Council's upcoming events. This is something that we never really did when we were living in Melbourne, however when we return, we will certainly make much more use of the Council free event series.

If you happen to be in or around Townsville over the coming few weeks, you are in for a treat! The Council is putting on a show (they must have known we were coming to town). Check out these free events coming up in Townsville.

August 28 - Full Moon Drum Circle

Each month, on the Saturday night that falls closest to the full moon, a special occurrence happens on The Strand. Facing into the clear blue and greens of the water and overlooking magnetic Island, many locals and visitors gathers at the Amphitheatre for an off-the-cuff music making session.

Bring along your drums and percussion instruments of all kinds, or just come empty handed and ready to make new friends as there are plenty of drums and a couple of tubs of shakers, cowbells, clapsticks provided. Everyone is invited to join in and no prior experience is required.

This unique experience starts at 6pm and finishes at 7:30pm. This drum circle has happened in Townsville since 2001 and is a great way to get your play a tribal drum that you may not otherwise be able to try your hand at.
