beardfest is thrilled to feature the community initiatives program,
offering a multitude of ways for you to participate and express yourself!

We know our Beardfam community is a talented and inspired crew. And so, the community initiatives program is all about intentionally highlighting and making space for Beardfest participants to freely share their creative vision(s) with fellow Beardfest goers. Whether through bringing a theme camp, sharing their art, or running their own event(s) outside the realm of workshops, Beardfest participants are encouraged to curate whatever feels most meaningful or fun for them.

WHY INTRODUCE THE COMMUNITY INITIATIVES PROGRAM, INCLUDING THEME CAMPS, PARTICIPANT-MADE ART, AND PARTICIPANT-RUN EVENTS?

To be honest, we noticed that many of our festival participants have already been organizing stuff like this for years--without any prompting.  To us, it's a big part of what makes Beardfest so... well, Beardfest.  It's not just the awesome curated entertainment, or even the fantastic workshops... What sets Beardfest apart is the feeling of community and engagement it fosters.  It's that year after year, regardless of the lineup, the family reunion atmosphere pervades. YOU are what make Beardfest so Beardfest, and as such we want to encourage and highlight that which is most important: Our Beardfam.
