“We are thrilled to invite the community to our inaugural Canada Day celebration here in Balm Beach with a fantastic lineup of entertainment and activities for everyone,” said Mayor David Evans. “For many residents, Balm Beach was home to the beloved Summerama celebrations for years—events that brought families, neighbours, and visitors together and became a cherished part of summer in Tiny. We are proud to help revive that long-standing tradition of community celebration in a new and exciting way. We have programming happening all day with live music, family activities, and our highly anticipated drone show that will have approximately 200 drones lighting up the sky. We look forward to welcoming residents for a memorable Canada Day on the beach.”
