Blank House 705

The journey begins.

Blank House 705 invites you to the first chapter of our new monthly house music series at Higher Ground — a space to dance, learn, and reconnect with what brought us all here in the first place: the rhythm.

Each month, we’ll explore different sides of house — from deep and soulful grooves to hypnotic minimal textures — weaving education, community, and movement into one collective pulse. No requests, no pretenses, just pure house.

Come early, stay late, and let yourself move.

Because this isn’t just another night out — it’s a celebration of house culture in Simcoe County and Muskoka.

Step inside Muskoka’s first brick hotel… if you dare.

Built in 1910 as the Swastika Hotel, renamed during darker times, the Bala Bay Inn has hosted a century of guests — some who may have never checked out. Room 319, where founder E.B. Sutton died, still carries whispers of his presence. Staff have spoken of beds turning down themselves and shadowy figures where no one should be.

On October 31st, 2025, the ballroom comes alive again.

Join accomplice for a night of haunted house and spectral grooves — where history, mystery, and music intertwine.

Costumes encouraged. Spirits guaranteed.
