Volunteer and help make Winterfest magic happen across Cambridge

The holiday season is a time for connection and celebration, and volunteers are at the heart of making Winterfest events memorable for thousands of residents and visitors. From helping families enjoy festive traditions to supporting large community celebrations, Winterfest volunteers play an important role in bringing people together and creating experiences that brighten the season.

By volunteering at Winterfest, you can gain hands-on experience in event planning and community engagement, meet new people, and take pride in helping showcase what makes Cambridge special. It’s also a great opportunity for students to earn volunteer hours while making a meaningful impact.
