Tobacco Road is hosting the Downtown Full Moon Party tonight from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. The Road encourages everyone to dress creatively and outrageously (costumes are encouraged), so invite your inner freak for a night of drum circles, hula hooping, dancing, fire twirling, eating, drinking and yoga.
Entertainment includes live music by the band Free Like Me, flamenco dance classes by Miami Flamenco Institute, drumming by Esteban Camacho (AKA Mr. Bongoman), and DJ Umber Bandi-Ville.
Drumming starts at 10 p.m. with an open house policy for performers and drummers...so bring your own drums (or anything else to get a beat going) and join the circle. Food trucks (TBA) will serve dinner. $5 cover charge, valet parking available. Tobacco Road, 626 S. Miami Avenue, Miami
