Information & Instructions for Volunteers
As we get closer to the festival and parade, we’ll be communicating more detailed instructions to you via email. We’ll also update this website. In the meantime, here is some basic information you’ll need:
Check-in: Volunteer check-in will be on-site at the Volunteer Tent. We’ll tell you the exact location a bit closer to the festival.
Parking & Transportation: We encourage folks to park off-site in any of the numerous decks or parking lots in Uptown. A better option might also be taking the light rail, bus, or street car.
Volunteers under 18: All volunteers under 18 must bring a signed copy of the volunteer waiver (coming soon) with a parent or guardian signature and contact information (phone number and email address), or may check-in at the Volunteer Tent with a parent or guardian present with them.
