All About Beaujolais & More

Next Event November 19, 2026

Every year after all of the grapes are picked and the new batch of wine is introduced in the Beaujolais region of France, people and entities alike all over the world celebrate the new vintage. This celebration is done in various ways.

About 26 years ago, Carol & Gary Kirchoff, long-time supporters of Denton’s Historic Campus Theatre, had an idea. They would use the festival atmosphere created by this event to host a fundraiser to raise funds that help with the upkeep and maintenance of our beloved Campus Theatre. Rumor has it that this all started as a casual gathering of friends to celebrate the release of Beaujolais Nouveau, but Carol and Gary ended up creating a fundraiser that would span the upcoming decades and prove vital to our theatre’s health and upkeep status.

Since then, Beaujolais & More has become just that… MORE!! Denton’s finest restaurants set up tables and serve tasty treats to attendees. Denton’s finest wine and beer vendors do the same to help wash down these tasty treats. On top of that, raffles give attendees a chance to win really cool prizes that are given away on the spot.

BEAUJOLAIS & MORE FAQs

November 19, 2026 from 5:30-7:30PM at the North Texas Fairgrounds in the Point Bank Convention Building. Enter the building from the south side. The entrance facing Carroll Blvd. is blocked.

Yes. But you get a $5 discount if you buy them ahead of time. You can BUY TICKETS ONLINE, at the Campus Theatre Box Office or from any member of the Beaujolais & More Committee. Tickets are $35 in advance, $40 at the door and $35 online.

It is a true foodie event. While you will be served samples, the sheer number of food vendors and the fact that you can go through the line multiple times guarantee that you will get plenty to eat. This really is one of the best values for a fun evening out in Denton.

That’s fine. We also have Denton’s finest brewers and bars serving your favorite craft beers, water, soda etc. There is truly something for everybody.

How many people with a ticket will fit in your car? We don’t suggest putting people in the trunk or on top of the car to get them to Beaujolais & More. But because it is centrally located, multiple trips to get your posse together are feasible.

While we admit that our days at the Denton Civic Center proved a challenge to make room for enough seating, the NT Fairgrounds Point Bank Convention building is HUGE and there is more than enough seating for you and for your posse. GUARANTEED!

Excellent question! How about 200%? We have underwriters and other sponsors who generously donate money and in-kind goods and services to the event. Every single penny of your ticket price… & More will directly benefit our Campus Theatre!

Hahaha! You obviously haven’t noticed how casual this event is. Sure, you’ll see some suits, maybe a tux or two, but the majority is casual clothing, full plates and happy attitudes.

It is an ever-changing list, but this year’s attendees are listed on our Facebook Page. We make posts promoting our restaurant partners every year.

Nothing! You will have opportunities to buy raffle tickets and a souvenir wine glass, but you will not be pressured to do so, nor will you be put on the spot to make a donation while you are there. Your ticket and a healthy appetite are all you need.

Contact Mike Barrow at the Campus Theatre (mbarrow@theatredenton.com). Mike is the Managing Director of Theatre Denton, the theatre company that occupies and manages the Campus Theatre. Mike will be able to answer all of your questions.

For a mere $35 entry, this has become the Premier Denton Foodie Event!

So come on out to to Beaujolais & More!

Bring your appetite.

We’ll see ya there!!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've seen several slows at this theater and have always enjoyed them.  The acting has always been good and the sets and costumes are well done. The theater itself is well designed so you won't get a bad seat. I do recommend arriving early as it is tricky to find parking.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (CATCF) at Theater Denton on Sunday.  What a fun way to spend a couple of hours on a hot summer day.  Cool theater off the square.  Much of it in its original glory.  The over all production was fantastic.  The singing, acting and the MUSIC 🎵, all exceeded my expectations.  The music was exceptional. Such talented artists.  A friend of mine played violin in the performance.  She played beautifully.  I was actually moved to tears during the show as I was transported back to fond memories of my youth, and to my  childhood memories of CATCF.

Our seats were perfect for viewing characters across the stage.  I didn’t see a bad seat (obstructed) in the house.

Parking - Denton can be tricky, especially The Square, and weekends.  Come early so you’re not stressing over finding a spot (like I did).

They sell snacks and beverages (alcoholic & nonalcoholic) at the concession store. They take cash and credit cards.

There’s a cute little WONKA CANDY SHOP spot for photo ops inside the lounge.  Candy props and all!

Final thought-
I expected the theater to be freezing inside.  It wasn’t.  It was cool enough inside to make me forget about the extreme heat outside. ☺️

This was my first time attending a show at Theater Denton.  I’m  looking forward to the upcoming shows I’ll see next.

Wonderful community production with an extremely talented cast!  We also loved the historical theater and the vintage vibe. Free parking was easier to find than we expected!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love seeing shows at Campus as well as at the Annex at the mall. I would recommend y'all set up a separate Google listing for your mall location with location details for out of towners. Specifically letting them know about the back door entrance & parking. It will go a long way in getting the word out about entertainment options on that side of town if it pops up in google & map searches!
