Some current volunteer positions available:
Beer/Wine Sales – Beer and wine sales volunteers will be in an ideal location to enjoy the music, watch the festival, and meet a lot of people. We’ll take care of ID bracelets. Volunteers will pour drinks and must be at least 21 years old.
Bucket Brigade – We need energetic, smiling folks roaming the site with our signature orange buckets looking for "drops in the bucket". These donations to the festival will help with the production of the next festival, so here is your chance to keep this wonderful event going! Great assignment for groups to work together.
Site Setup/Tear-down – Here’s your chance to help make the festival happen and still get to relax once the music starts. We need a lot of assistance to make the site ready for the crowds and cleaning it up after they’ve gone home. Setup experience (construction, carpentry, engineering, etc.) is ideal but not required.
