Beaumont Boogie XI – Oogie Boogie's Song
The Beaumont Music Festival is the longest-running music festival in Canada dedicated entirely to all-Canadian artists. Founded as the Beaumont Blues & Roots Festival in 2008, it started as a small, grassroots volunteer-run event featuring local blues, folk and roots acts on a single stage. Over the years, both the sOund and the audience grew. In 2024, the festival rebranded to reflect a wider range of musical genres, evolving into a multi-day, two-stage event that now draws attendees from across Canada, still run completely by volunteers. The festival comes to life each June, but you can boogie through Beaumont any time of year. As you explore the Beaumont Boogie geocache power trail, enjoy the scenery and soak up the rhythm of this music-loving community. 🎶

Featured in The Nightmare Before Christmas movie, this scene-stealing number adds a jazzy edge to the film’s darkly whimsical world. Performed by the villain Oogie Boogie, the song stands apart from the score with its swing rhythm and playful menace. It’s a clear tribute to Cab Calloway, echoing his smooth delivery, call-and-response vocals, and big-band swagger, and linking the film to an earlier era of jazz showmanship.
