We depend on volunteers to do the important job of pulling the festival together – from preparing the site, welcoming festival goers at the gate,  providing hospitality, directing traffic, and keeping the festival site clean and friendly. Equally important is your role as an ambassador for the festival. Festival goers will count on you to provide information and offer guidance to ensure everyone enjoys the festival.

Enthusiastic volunteers are what will make the festival enjoyed by everyone.

Thank you... Lets have some fun!
