The Summer Games for All

RESCHEDULED TO: Saturday, July 17, 11-5 pm

Downtown Beaumont at The Civic Center (701 Main St. Beaumont) 

Beaulympics (Beaumont’s Olympics) are the summer games for all. A one-day extravaganza of games, music, and entertainment, each ring represents a different theme of events with a Cajun twist. Many activities will be available all day to play at your leisure, and there will also be a schedule of featured competitions and headline events you don’t want to miss.

For each activity, you’ll have the opportunity to earn Beau-bucks you can trade-in for prizes like at a carnival. Whether you choose to watch or participate, earn swag or just let loose and enjoy the festivities, it’s a day of free fun for the entire community.

All games will be FREE, food, drink and other activities (like a dunk tank) will be available for purchase.

The five rings represent major travel themes we think best exemplify our city. We hope you can make it to Beaulympics in July, but you can also use the rings to guide your explorations all summer with suggested itineraries and challenges anytime you visit.

How It Works

Each ring represents a different theme of events in the categories of food/drink, kid-friendly, active/adventure, art, and Cajun culture. There will be family-friendly, oversized lawn games, a fun zone (kiddie obstacle course with the noodles and inflatables), and a bubblepalooza (bubble pools) available all day for anyone to use (unmanned – play at your own risk) + headline games and competitions on the Main Stage.
