The Beaufort Music Festival is a community-supported, volunteer-run event put on by the Beaufort Arts and Music 501c3 non-profit organization. Our passion is music and for over 30 years, our passion project has been to meticulously curate a diverse / multi genre musical line-up for festival goers each May. Held at the idyllic NC Maritime Museums Gallants Channel Annex in Beaufort, NC, the Beaufort Music Festival is a family-inclusive event that provides an immersive experience for all ages with food trucks, art and non-profit vendors, a family area with children’s activities, and adult beverages powered by Fat Tire! Each year we strive to be better than the last, and this year's exciting lineup is going to bring it once again!
