VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are key to the success and smooth running of our festival. Our mighty volunteers work four-hour shifts during the festival and handle tasks such as selling merchandise, assisting craft vendors, surveying festival attendees, sharing information and directions with visitors, and much more.

Sign up to volunteer by Sept. 10! We accept volunteer applications right up until the festival (or until all shifts are full), but volunteers who sign up by the end of the day on Sept. 10 are guaranteed a free volunteer T-shirt!

If you have any questions, please contact us using this form.
