VOLUNTEER FAQ
WHAT TYPES OF VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES DO YOU HAVE AT THE FESTIVAL?
Setup/Teardown and Loading Crew, Golf Cart Drivers, Greeters, Merch and Box Office sales, Hospitality and more. The admin committee selects Venue Leads and Emcees; however, qualified applicants may self-assign for other roles.
HOW MANY HOURS DO I NEED TO VOLUNTEER TO EARN PERKS?
A minimum of 10 volunteer hours earns one a weekend pass which to enter all non-VIP performances, including the headliners! This pass is for the volunteer and is non-transferable. A festival shirt is also awarded which must be worn while on duty. All who successfully complete a 10+hour commitment and turn in their name tags will also be entered into a merch prize drawing at the close of the festival. In many positions, the music comes right to the volunteers, so the weekend pass is an added bonus in appreciation of the hard-working volunteers which make this event possible!
ARE VOLUNTEERS ALLOWED TO DRINK AT THE VENUE?
While on shift and/or wearing their crew shirts, volunteers are asked to refrain from alcohol or drugs.
