Beaufort arts &
music foundation
Beaufort Arts and Music is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working with and in the community to bring great music to Beaufort and the Crystal Coast while supporting tourism and our local community.
For more than 30 years, the Beaufort Music Festival has been a part of the Beaufort community, bringing together locals and visitors for a weekend of live music, food and family-friendly fun.
Behind the laid-back festival weekend is a dedicated volunteer committee that works throughout the year to bring it all together. Funding comes through sponsorships, donations and sanctioned events that not only support the festival, but also bring people together and promote local arts, activities and a strong sense of community.
SINCE 1990
Bringing Arts & Music to the Community
Funds raised throughout the year help support the Beaufort Music Festival while also giving back to our community, with a special focus on local children.
As much as we are into our community, we are equally into its music. We live it. We breathe it.
You won’t want to miss the most amazing music festival and the best weekend in Beaufort!
Arts & Music
Beaufort Arts and Music is passionate about bringing exceptional live music to our community. Each year, the Beaufort Music Festival features a mix of national, regional and local artists, giving audiences the chance to discover new music, enjoy longtime favorites and experience incredible performances right here in Beaufort.
We’re also proud to make space for local musicians and artists and to celebrate the creative talent that is such an important part of our area. At the heart of it all is a genuine love for great music and the arts.
Supporting Youth
Beaufort Arts and Music is not just about entertainment; it’s about investing in our future. The money raised through our festival and year-round efforts goes back into the community, with a special focus on enriching the lives of local children. Through community initiatives and opportunities that support arts and music, we’re helping nurture the talents, creativity and dreams of the next generation.
Community
Community has always been at the heart of Beaufort Arts and Music. Our organization is powered by volunteers who give their time and energy throughout the year to make the festival and our other efforts possible.
Beyond the music itself, we believe in creating experiences that strengthen connections, celebrate the character of Beaufort and the Crystal Coast, and give people another reason to come together. That sense of community is a big part of what has kept the festival going for more than 30 years.
