Volunteer roles
Where you'll help.
Tell us what you enjoy and we'll match you to a role — here's where our volunteers make the biggest difference:
- Setup & Load-In — help makers move in, set tables, and dress the room before doors open.
- Guest Check-In & Ticketing — greet guests, scan tickets, and hand out tasting tokens.
- Token & Merch Sales — run the token table and help guests vote in the Fan Favorite Tasting.
- Floor Floaters — answer questions, restock samples, and keep the market running smoothly.
- Teardown — help makers pack up and reset the space at the close of the festival.
Join the crew in 2027.
