Know Before You Go

NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL, DRINKS,
coolers*, or FOOD*

Help us abide by ABC laws. FREE water trucks will be on site, so each person is permitted and encouraged to bring ONE empty water bottle. Food trucks and vendors will be on site.

*Our vendors are ready with a variety of delicious food and beverage options! However, if you or your children have special food needs or dietary restrictions, we will allow small personal coolers for food items ONLY. All coolers will be subject to search upon entrance to the festival, as ABC laws prohibit any outside alcoholic beverages.

NO "TAILGATING" IN THE PARKING LOTS IN BEAUFORT

VERY limited paid parking will be available onsite at Gallants Channel both days of the festival – $20/vehicle. PLEASE carpool, use Uber/Lyft, bikes, taxis, walk, etc. if you are able. Bikes are allowed (and encouraged!). Bike racks located near entrance.

NO UMBRELLAS, SHADE TENTS WILL BE PROVIDED.

Low chairs ARE allowed, though not directly in front of the stage. Consider bringing sunscreen, bug spray and rain gear. It’s Eastern, North Carolina, you never know. 

Are you a non-profit organization?

Yes, we are a not-for-profit organization; no one involved with the Music Festival will make a dime from this event. All of the money we make from the Festival (from fundraising events; sponsors; donations; and ticket, merchandise, and alcohol sales) is used to produce the Festival, either to pay for this year or to be put towards the next years event. In addition, as mentioned, we will be donating a significant portion of any profits over our total operating costs to various children’s arts programs in the county. The BMF is proud to support music and arts in the community!

Kids of all ages are encouraged to come out and celebrate this wonderful weekend. Kids are also encouraged to bring their parents to the family fun area!

The Beaufort Music Festival is a community-supported event; many of our past volunteers have said that the time they spend volunteering at the festival is the best part of their festival experience. If you are interested in volunteering, please check back closer to the festival for our volunteer sign-up link.

Aside from knowing that you are a critical part of the BMF while getting to enjoy an amazing series of shows, you will also receive a gift of our appreciation. The more slots you choose the more love we shower you with! Please contact BMF at volunteer@beaufortartsmusic.org if you have any questions.

You can support the festival for years to come by drinking in our “Beer Garden”; but per ABC rules, no outside alcohol is allowed.

The festival is supported through fundraising events held year-round, donations, merchandise and sponsorships. If you or your business are interested in current or future sponsorship opportunities, please contact chris@beaufortartsmusic.org.
