Volunteer Roles

Set Up

Please note that setup often involves heavy lifting! Setup volunteers will assist staff with preparing for the event on the Friday prior to the start time of the Festival. Tasks include creating and placing signage (includes the use of tools), setting up registration areas, assisting in setting up vendor stations, placement of tables and chairs, etc.

Information Booth

Volunteers working in the information booth will assist with greeting and educating visitors about the organization’s mission, informing them of important locations and providing guests with schedules. Volunteers will be responsible for selling merchandise (t-shirts, tote bags, etc.), and providing security for the money collected.

Booth Sitters

Vendors and artists have to eat too! Booth Sitters relieve artists and vendors who need to take a quick break. As a booth sitter, you’ll stand watch at booths while they run quick errands. Booth sitters do not make sales.

Children's Activities

Volunteers will help facilitate the kid’s programming and activities as needed and should enjoy working with children. Come prepared to have fun!

Clean Up

Volunteers are needed to take down signs, take down tents, clean up any garbage left behind, etc.
