Local musicians in Beaumont will have a chance to showcase their talents during an upcoming Open Stage event at the Sea Change Tap Room on June 7, 2026. The event, hosted by the Beaumont Music Festival, serves as a platform for artists to perform for the community and potentially secure a spot in the main festival lineup.
Organizers say they regularly discover new talent for the main festival through these local showcases. The festival, which is entirely managed and staffed by volunteers, is celebrating its 19th year of operation in 2026. Since being founded in 2008, the organization has remained dedicated to celebrating Canadian music across various genres.
The main festival weekend is set to take place on June 19-20, 2026, at the Beaumont and District Agricultural Society fairgrounds. The event returns to this venue this year as organizers work to manage infrastructure costs and avoid previous weather-related challenges. The upcoming festival will feature headliners including Royal Tusk, Big Sugar, Toque, Crown Lands, and Lucette.
The Open Stage event begins at 7 p.m. at the brewery located at 5302 50 St in Beaumont. Musicians interested in the opportunity are encouraged to attend and share their work with the community.
