Welcome, Volunteers!

Volunteer shift registration is now opening in waves for all registered volunteers. Before selecting shifts, please review the resources below to help you choose roles that are a good fit and arrive prepared for the Festival.

START HERE

Before selecting shifts, please review the following resources:

1. Know Before You Go
These pages explain how the Festival operates and should be your first stop for questions.

They include information about:
• Schedule, maps, and venue details
• Parking, food, and amenities
• Accessibility, safety, and guest services

Watch the Know Before You Go overview video, then review the pages.

2. Volunteer Pages

Be sure to review:

• Volunteer Guide – role descriptions and expectations
• Attending as a Volunteer – parking, meals, attire, and ticket benefits

We recommend bookmarking the Registered Volunteer Pages for easy reference.

3. Select Your Shifts

Once you have reviewed the information above:

• Go to the Volunteer Portal
• Use the portal to view available shifts and build your schedule

You may access the portal directly, but reviewing the role descriptions first will help ensure you select shifts that are a good fit.

If you need help using the system, watch the video:

Training & Meetings

Some roles require additional training.

• Training will be brief and primarily online
• Most teams will have a short team meeting before the Festival
• Check the volunteer pages calendar for updates
