What's the deal with volunteering?

If you'd like to volunteer for the 2023 festival this is the deal.

Your volunteer commitment is a minimum of 10 hours over the festival. In return, you receive a free weekend pass, a festival t-shirt, an invitation to the Volunteers Party, and the warm fuzzy feeling of being part of the Festival.

We are happy to try and meet your needs if you have kids, work, travel restrictions or other responsibilities, but there is a need to share the shifts around in an equitable way.
