The Indian River Flute Circle, in

and the Brevard County Parks and Recreation Department,
proudly present the second annual gathering of the Native
Rhythms Festival. This three day event during Native
American Heritage Month honors the culture of the indigenous
peoples of the Americas through music, and especially the music
of the Native American Flute.
