Last Updated 3/25/2026

Each year at BeaconFest, excitement fills the air—not only for the great speakers and live entertainment, but also for the chance to win some fantastic prizes. After all, BeaconFest is a celebration of getting older, and every celebration deserves a little extra fun.

ENTER TO WIN
It’s free and easy to participate. Just fill out the official door prize entry form on page 5 and drop it in the bucket at the BEACON booth. Then you’re in! We draw multiple winners from the main stage every 30 minutes, so be sure to listen for your name.

YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN
Plan to stay awhile because you must be present to win. With live music, more than a dozen seminars and over 100 exhibitors, there’s no shortage of things to do. Catch up with friends over lunch from one of our restaurant vendors, relax and enjoy the music or head to the dance floor— yes, dancing is absolutely encouraged! Afraid you’ll miss your name while you’re in a seminar? No worries. Stop by the BEACON booth to check, and we’ll make sure you get your prize if you’ve won.

MEGA PRIZE GIVEAWAY At 2:30 p.m. all extra and unclaimed door prizes come into play during “Let’s Make a Squeal,” our lively spin on Monty Hall’s “Let’s Make a Deal.” This crowd-favorite game is your final chance to walk away with something extraordinary! If you’re new to this, come prepared to barter—odd and everyday items like safety pins, ChapStick and $2 bills can become your bargaining chips! The more you join in, the more fun you’ll have.
