Most events occur outside, but we often work inside as well. Please dress for any potential weather. Dressing in layers is very helpful. Events are only cancelled due to very extreme weather and volunteers will be notified by staff in advance of shift. If a volunteer shows up without proper warm clothes, they will be sent home and not able to work. Warm-up zones will be provided when possible.
Group & Corporate Volunteers
Corporate and group volunteer opportunities are possible with the festival; on event days or during setup and takedown (may occur on non event days) . Email the Volunteer Coordinator for more information and to discuss possible opportunities.
