CAMPING
Festival camping is planned for the BADAS (The Beaumont And District Agricultural Society) fairgrounds, in the gravel parking lot of the grounds. Please note that this is a boondocking situation with no hookups and no services. There will be a porta-potty on site.
Members of the Beaumont And District Agricultural Society are volunteering to manage the campground over the weekend, and the camping fees that we are collecting are all going directly the BADAS.
Camping passes are $25 per night per camping vehicle – RV, camping trailer or campervan – and are in addition to your Day or Weekend Passes for the Festival. Spaces are limited and are already filling up (as of March 7th, 2022)
Camping is for Friday, June 17 and/or Saturday, June 18th, and all vehicles must be cleared from the BADAS grounds by 12noon of Sunday, June 19th.
If you are thinking of tenting, take into consideration that this is a gravel parking lot in the middle of an agricultural area with no facilities except a porta-potty.
Scheduled shuttle service to and from the Festival grounds is included.
You will find the passes at the Festival “Buy Tickets” button, scroll down to find the passes for Friday Camping and Saturday Camping.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT...& DRINK
We have a full house with eight food trucks/vendors on the grounds:
Street Eats with delights like the lobster grilled cheese; Paradise Grill with jerk chicken and other Jamaican cuisine; Purple Perogy; Hot Mess with her regular menu; Lemongrass Cafe; LadyBug Sugar Shack (Country Market Gourmet Foods); Jo’s Kettle Corn; and Big Softie ice cream. Most of the food vendors have pop, bottled water and other non-alcoholic beverages for purchase.
Enjoy fresh coffee from Beaumont’s own Brave Fox Coffee – so pleased to have them back! They will be set up in the Fiesta Zone tent for your caffeinated pleasure!
The Fiesta Zone’s beer is a selection of Sea Change Brewing beers in their oversized cans. We will post which brews will be available for selection as soon as possible. Other alcoholic beverages will include varieties of wine, coolers, and even the Margarita Machine!
Please note that the Beaumont Blues & Roots Festival is licensed site-wide so that you can take your alcoholic beverage back to your place in front of the stage.
WHAT CAN I BRING?
You are allowed to bring small coolers with snacks, and sealed unopened bottled non-alcoholic beverages. These will be checked by our Front Gate professional security. All unsealed bottles containing liquids will be emptied at the gate.
Updated April 16 – If you are planning on refilling water on site, we are not able to open the hydrant and are looking at alternative options.
Chairs – Low back, short leg seating is preferred. If mobility requires standard portable chair height, position your grouping where your chair will not interfere with other guest’s views of the stage – please be courteous of other guests when setting up your seats and thank you in advance.
Blankets, tarps, etc. – by all means come prepared to be comfortable we only ask that you are courteous to other guests and only occupy as much space as you need and spread each grouping out to maintain social distancing. Evenings get cool so bringing extra blankets might be desirable!
Umbrellas and rain gear – check the forecast and come prepared for the weather. We ask that umbrellas not be used as sunshades where they might interfere with other guest’s view of the stage.
Sun screen / bug spray as our Festival site is located in the middle of Four Seasons Park. This requires walking in from Park & Walk locations, and the Park & Walk Shuttle drop off/pick up, so packing your gear in a way that you can “hike” or wagon it into the Park is recommended!
Service animals – certification must be shown.
DO NOT BRING ANY OF THESE
Do expect bags and small coolers to be searched, and potentially receive a pat down at the Front Gate from professional security, so if you are looking to bring in anything that could be an issue, please take it back to your car before entering the grounds.
No glass containers except for baby food
No pets
No alcohol or smokable/edible cannabis products (as pursuant City of Beaumont bylaws) or other non-prescription drugs
Open and unsealed beverage containers of any kind will be emptied out at the gate
NO PROFESSIONAL CAMERAS OR AUDIO/VIDEO RECORDING EQUIPMENT
No drones, laser pointers, fireworks or weapons
PARK 'N' RIDE
We will post details for our parking lots and shuttle service here as we get closer to the Festival. Check back regularly for updates.
