About This Opportunity

Each year, almost 1000 volunteers come together to make a magical weekend happen at Jericho Beach Park!

Volunteers are the heart and soul of our festival. With 50 different committees spanning a variety of roles, volunteers play a pivotal roll across the festival. Whether you want to be behind the scenes, interacting with guests, or liasing with artists – there is a role for you. We have committees ranging from setting the stage, serving refreshments, facilitating kid’s programming, making sure the festival is accessible, taking care of the park and much, much more.

This opportunity is open to anyone 13+ and we welcome a wide variety of applicants. Volunteers commit to 15 hours, typically over the festival weekend. As a volunteer you receive your festival weekend pass, a tshirt, refreshments and meal vouchers, access to the backstage rest and shade area, a volunteer party, access to volunteer discounts and giveaways, and to be a part of an incredible community.
