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!

How can I be sure I am purchasing legitimate tickets for Beaufort Music Festival?
Tickets for events at Beaufort Music Festival are only sold through our official ticketing platform Etix.com.
Why is someone else’s name that I don’t recognize on my ticket?
If you did not purchase your Beaufort Music Festival tickets via Etix.com and do not recognize the name on the ticket, it is likely that you purchased through a third-party reseller. Tickets obtained from unauthorized sources may be lost, stolen, or counterfeit, and if so, are not valid for admission to this event. It is possible you were unnecessarily charged significantly more than the face value of this ticket by not purchasing through our box office. Conversely, tickets purchased for less than face value may have been acquired by fraudulent means. If you have questions as to whether your ticket is valid, please contact the Beaufort Music Festival at info@beaufortartsmusic.org.
How do I get a ticket for Beaufort Music Festival at the best price?
Always purchase official tickets directly from the event organizer to ensure you are receiving official tickets at the best price. For all Beaufort Music Festival concerts, purchase official tickets online at Etix.com or contact our box office directly at info@beaufortartsmusic.org.
