“Be Art, Love Art“
Bala is a picturesque town in the heart of Muskoka. By land, Muskoka Road (Hwy 169) runs through the town. By water, Lake Muskoka flows into the Moon River over the “paintable” Bala Falls.
About 600 residents are year rounders, although in summer months, Bala swells to over 10,000 people.
Many recall a night or two at the famous dance hall – Kee to Bala (formerly Dunn’s Pavillion) or a butter tart or scone from Don’s Bakery. Popular spots for visitors these days for a bite to eat include Jack and Stella, the Bala Falls Pub , The Hook and Ladder, and Lakeside Bala, most places accessible by water from Lake Muskoka.
On the weekend after Thanksgiving, Bala paints the town red to celebrate the cranberry harvest at the 3-day Bala Cranberry Festival.

We believe there is an artist inside everyone waiting for an invitation to come outside!
