Beaumont Convention and Visitors Bureau is excited to announce that almost all of the hotels in Beaumont are completely full due to reunions and sporting events.
The Perfect Game World Series brought in 100+ teams during June 20 – June 25. The Opening Ceremony was held at Ford Park Entertainment Complex on Tuesday. A parade of the teams was held and the players had the opportunity to trade pins. Teams were treated to a pizza party by the Southeast Texas Baseball Academy. The tournament includes the following age groups: 6U-8U and 9U-13U with 30-50 people traveling together per team. The estimated economic impact of this event is $780,000.
The MCM Elegante is completely booked due to hosting the Hebert High 13th Mass Reunion. There will be 560 people in attendance and it is being held June 21 – June 25 with an estimated economic impact of $300,000. In 1982, when Hebert High School closed its doors, it left a significant void in the lives of those who had been deeply impacted by its presence, therefore the Hebert High School Alumni Association was formed. The former students of Hebert High School work hard to keep their community alive and revisit a place they call home.
Beaumont CVB is ecstatic for local restaurants, shops, museums, and more to welcome these visitors. Restaurants are expected to be packed and local businesses should anticipate steady visitors. Beaumont CVB would like to thank all of the tourists and participants for showing up this Summer.
