Be Part of the Bonfire

Beacon Bonfire is more than a festival, it’s a living expression of the creativity and connection that defines Beacon and shines throughout the Hudson Valley and New York City.

Born from the spark of a small community gathering, it has grown into a celebration that welcomes neighbors, artists, and dreamers from near and far. Together, we create something vibrant, inclusive, and joyful. And whether you support as a Patron or step in as a Volunteer, you become part of the circle that keeps the fire burning bright 🔥

Patron Festival Pass

The Beacon Bonfire Patron Festival Pass is more than just a ticket—it’s your invitation to step into five days of music, art, film, and community magic. Every pass helps us open the circle wider, making it possible to share Bonfire with neighbors, artists, and community members who might not otherwise be able to join.

What You Spark

  • All-access to five unforgettable days (Nov 5–9) of music, art, and film
  • Entry to the VIP / Artist Lounge, where creativity and connection flow
  • Exclusive Patron swag as a joyful thank-you for your support
  • The chance to pay it forward—your pass helps cover tickets for community members in need and keeps many Bonfire events free and open to the public

Patron Festival Pass: $125

Pink Unicorn Bonfire Pass: Pay It Forward

In honor of Dave Shelly — “The Beacon Pink Unicorn” — we’re keeping his spirit of joy and generosity glowing bright. 💗✨

Through our collaboration with the Beacon Unicorn Fund, you can add a Pink Unicorn Bonfire Pass when buying your ticket. Your gift helps someone in our community experience the magic of Bonfire who otherwise couldn’t — a true act of sparkle and kindness.

Beacon Bonfire is built by people, for people — every spark matters. ✨
