'Just offensive': Large Vancouver beach party draws outrage amid COVID-19

A popular drum circle at a Vancouver beach is once again stirring controversy, this time for ignoring coronavirus protocols.

Drummers and revelers have been gathering at Third Beach in Stanley Park on Tuesdays in summer for more than 15 years.

The event has grown rapidly in size in recent years, prompting a myriad of complaints around noise, drinking and public urination.

Now, photos and videos of the most recent event are circulating on social media and spurring an outcry over disregard for physical and social distancing measures.

“This is just offensive,” wrote one Twitter user, after posting images of the event.
