  1. Hello. I was trying to get in touch with the bucket boys. The Original Sixty Fourth Street Beach Drummers Inc is hosting an International Drumbeat festival on July 15, 2023 from 4 pm to 7 pm at 89th and Loomis (Garden Lot). We reserved a spot for the bucket boys to showcase their talent.
    Thanks!
