Festival Event Volunteers

Looking to get involved but can’t commit long-term? Festival Weekend Volunteer opportunities are a fantastic way to contribute to the magic of the event while fitting into your busy schedule. These roles are hands-on, fun, and perfect for anyone who wants to support the festival for just a day or two.

Here are some of the ways you can help during the festival weekend:

Welcome, Information & Survey Team: Welcome guests as they enter the festival area. You may hand out Program Guides or other printed material and provide directions to guests. If you are assigned to do surveys, please approach as many guests as you can to ask the survey questions.
T-Shirt and Poster Sales: Assist with merchandise sales. Accept payments for Festival T-shirts or posters. Use the cash box to collect payment and make change. If the customer is using a credit card, you will direct them to the person with the card reader (you will be trained).
Face Painting: Get creative by painting fun designs on kids’ faces or hands. The supervisor will inform you what is needed, the materials to use and how to engage the children and their parents.
Artist Assistant: Circulate among the artists to distribute water and snacks to the artists. Ask if the artists have any needs to be relayed to the festival team. Great opportunity for students to earn volunteer hours.
Booth Sitter: Circulate among the artists to ask if anyone needs a booth sitter. Role is simply to inform visitors the artist will return soon and monitor the safety of the valuable art displayed. Booth sitters must be over 18.

Festival weekend volunteers are vital to ensuring everything runs smoothly. Whether you can spare just a few hours or a full day, your time and energy will make a big impact!
