FAQs

Discover how you can contribute to our vibrant festival community and make a difference.

What if I have to cancel after I’ve been accepted?

Life happens. If you need to cancel your Volunteer Pass, just let us know as soon as you can so we can find someone to fill your spot. We appreciate the heads-up.

Do vendors need to bring their own setup?

Yes! Generally, vendors should be self-sufficient and bring everything they need—tents, tables, displays, etc. We’ll provide space and basic info on setup logistics in advance.

What’s the vibe like for artists, performers, and vendors?

Supportive, creative, and full of collaboration. Whether you're painting live, playing a set, or selling your creations, you'll be surrounded by a community that lifts each other up.

Can I still enjoy the festival if I’m working or volunteering?

Absolutely! We make sure everyone has plenty of time to experience the festival. You’ll work a few shifts, but you’re still part of the party.

Do I need experience to volunteer?

Not always! Some positions (like First Aid or Media) need specific skills, but most roles are open to anyone with good energy and a willingness to help.

When will I know if I’ve been accepted?

We review applications on a rolling basis and aim to get back to folks within a few weeks of submission. Some roles fill quickly, so don’t wait too long to apply.

Can I apply for more than one role?

Definitely. If you’re interested in multiple areas—say, volunteering and performing—just let us know. We’ll try our best to make it work without overlapping schedules.

Do volunteers get a free ticket?

Yes! Most volunteer positions come with a free or discounted ticket in exchange for a set number of hours. Each role has different requirements, but we’ll make sure the perks match the effort.
