Volunteers:

We are no longer taking volunteer applications online. If you would still like to volunteer, please check in with us at the volunteer desk behind the ticket booth before buying your ticket to see if space has become available.
Thank you volunteers! Seriously, we couldn’t do it without you!

Scheduled Volunteers- when you get to the festival you do have to pay for parking and tent camping, then come to the ticket booth - volunteer check-in is on the back porch of the booth. Be sure to find out where you meet your crew if you don’t know.

If you are scheduled to volunteer and need to cancel please call us at 919-542-1746 asap.

Please read the information below about volunteering and be prepared to make a deposit with a check or credit card when you arrive at the festival if you are still interested.New changes to our volunteer system:

    If you haven’t completed your hours before the festival begins, then we’ll need you to give us a deposit for the full price of the ticket you’re volunteering to earn.
    This helps us make sure that everyone keeps their commitments and the festival runs smoothly.

    You can give us your deposit like this:

    • By giving us a credit card number: on the phone with the volunteer coordinator when you are scheduled, or when you arrive at the festival at volunteer check in
    • Bringing a check with you when you check in at the festival
    • Bringing a money order with you when you check in at the festival

    If you have questions about the deposit requirement, please ask the volunteer coordinator when they contact you.

    Once you have put down your deposit and confirmed your volunteer schedule, you are responsible for showing up to fulfill those shifts. If you must cancel, you need to do so by the Monday before the festival.

    Your deposit will be cashed if you come to the festival and don’t show up for your shifts, this includes if you miss just one shift so be sure to completely fulfill your volunteer commitment.
