    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

    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.
