LIVE MUSIC THAT WE LOVE AND CRAVE IS ON THE BEACH FRONT
Beach, sand, sun and music! Summer doesn’t get any better than that! Balm Beach Busk ‘til Dusk is a great event that brings together family and friends.
Locals sitting in their lawn chairs or dancing in the sand can be experienced every Thursday from 6 pm to 9 pm all summer long. The good ole days come to mind. Thoughts of carefree days in the sun, swimming and playing frisbee with friends on this very beach, Sun tanning using coconut oil instead of sunscreen, no thought of skin cancer then, oh my!
The fun at the Barrel Works in the evening was unmatched. Now you can come and enjoy Balm Beach’s Busk Til Dusk Event from 6 pm to 9 pm every Thursday all summer.

This event is held during the week for locals and landowners to enjoy during the quieter times at this beautiful place. Everyone is welcome!

This last date of the summer features “The Tiny Stew” because it’s stewing with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It’s simmering into something cool. The kids are back at school and tourist season winds down.
“Let’s back track a little to last year, the summer of 2021. Gaining a small glimmer of hope, escaping isolation and getting back to normal by being able to have the month of August and part of September to reignite that live music on the beach that we all crave and need so much. Thank you to all that came out.”, said Chris Figgures. This event is weather dependant so watch your forecast or visit facebook.
This event is organized and run by local volunteers with the support of the Township of Tiny – with thanks!
