Tuesday Island Tunes at St. John's Centre for the Arts

Tuesday, August 25, 2026 · 6:30 p.m.

Live music every Tuesday at 6:30 PM at St. John's Centre for the Arts.

Tuesday Island Tunes is a weekly summer music series held at St. John's Centre for the Arts in Arichat, on Isle Madame in Richmond County. The series runs on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM at the St. John's Centre for the Arts in Arichat. Admission is by donation at the door, and refreshments are served. The series is a weekly music showcase at St. John's Centre for the Arts featuring local performers. The format suits a broad audience — visitors exploring Isle Madame and the Strait area, summer residents, and locals alike. The intimate setting and accessible admission make it a low-barrier community gathering as much as a performance event. St. John's Centre for the Arts is located in the heart of historic Arichat and was constructed in 1895, designed by renowned architect William Critchlow Harris. The building is noted for its excellent acoustics, beautiful woodwork, and views of the Atlantic Ocean. Originally an Anglican church, it is now owned and operated by the Friends of St. John's Arichat Society, who preserve the building for its heritage value and use it as a multipurpose venue. The building's acoustic qualities make it a natural home for an intimate live music series.
