    Environment
    We need lots of volunteers to help ensure that the Square is kept looking beautiful for visitors to the Festival. We provide equipment and materials to help you dispose of garbage and sort the recyclables.

    Hospitality
    These volunteers are off site in the host hotel looking after our artists and guests by providing them with delicious meals, snacks and beverages in the Hospitality Suite. Early mornings and/or late hours are part of this crew’s duties.

    Information
    Inside the Info Trailer the volunteers on this crew learn everything there is to know about the Festival – who, what, when, where and how is their business. They also sell merchandise and provide programs to visitors of the Festival. We also have a mobile element to this team for those volunteers who want to be out on the square interacting with the public.

    Kids’ World
    Enjoy some time entertaining the wee folks. Activities and games will be provided for everyone coming to this area. Help our creative coordinators make this place an enjoyable, safe and fun experience.

    This team helps with crowd control before and during the nightly Troupe Du Jour show, and then with the “passing of the hats” to the crowd of patrons after the show. Volunteers may also assist with set up and strike of Troupe du Jour. Ambassadors for the festival, when on this team, presenting a fun, professional, friendly and approachable presence is key.
