It has been quite awhile since Beantown has had a themed dance night, and this year we’ve got one for Sunday. From the inspiration of Cowboy Coleman. That’s Samuel in case you are wondering.
The music for the evening will be with this year’s Beantown All Star Band, including Gordon Webster, Josh Lee, Taryn Newborne and Naomi Uyama. You know they will be swinging!
- BEANTOWN COUNTRY WESTERN NIGHT!
- SUNDAY JUNE 29TH @ 9PM!
- HOWDY Y’ALL! For our dance on Sunday evening we are having some extra fun by dressing up with Country Western Attire. So Saddle up and Express Your Creativity with this theme in mind and Mosey On Over to Callahan Hall @ 9pm for a JAZZY HOEDOWN you won’t forget!
- Where Them Fans At?
- Prepare yourself for Beantown Revue! This variety show on Tuesday night is one of the not-to-be-missed highlights of the week—full of suspense, drama, comedy, and entertainment. If you have a special talent, perhaps a fun skit, or something else you or a group would like to share, start planning your act! Don’t forget to pack that rainbow wig, juggling balls, batons, kazoo or whatever you’ll need to showcase your ultimate stardom at Beantown 2026!

- You may want some cash to make purchases in the Camp Shop, snacks at the Beantown Café, incidentals, and private lessons.
