What you'd be doing

  • Setting up

    Carrying barricades and putting the street together before the gates open.

  • Vendor check-in

    Meeting vendors during setup and pointing them to their spot.

  • Helping attendees

    Answering questions and pointing people at what they came for.

  • Tearing down

    Packing the street back up once the day is done.

Volunteer FAQs

Shifts are two hours. The festival itself runs 12–6pm, with setup before it and teardown after, so there are shifts either side of the day as well as during it.
