Volunteer With Venetian Festival

Sign up to Join Team Venetian

Please review the many volunteer opportunities that exist.   Requests are honored on a first-come, first reserved basis. We ask everyone to sign up for at least two shifts. All volunteers are required to sign a liability waiver form prior to their first shift. Those under 18 must have a parent or guardian signature!

Beach Events - Sand sculpture, volleyball - sun, fun, and sand.  What more could you want from a volunteer assignment?

Building & Maintenance skills - If you're handy with a hammer or ready with a wrench we've got projects for you!

Clean Team - One of the reasons the Festival is so successful is that we leave our host city as clean as we found it.  Pitch in!

Craft Show - From check-in to booth sitting, we need friendly people to assist with this Saturday and Sunday event!

Ice Team - This could be the coolest spot at the Festival!  Help distribute ice to the vendors and event venues.

Kids' Games - Come be a kid again! Hundreds of kids delight in the fun and games we have to offer.

Parking Lot Monitor - Stand guard at reserved lot entrances to help vendors, merchants, sponsors and other volunteers get where they need to go. Firm but friendly types needed here.  Help direct classic car owners with positioning their vehicles along Lake Boulevard on Thursday evening.

Set-Up/Take Down - We especially need people to work with their hands and who are able to lift and carry things. A driver's license may be required. Set-up begins 3 days before Festival and take down lasts 2 days afterward. This is a great chance to get involved yet miss none of the Festival.

Shuttle Ambassadors - Be a guide to the Festival while greeting the Shuttle bus riders. Give a great first impression to those riding the Shuttles, many of whom are visitors to this area.

Special Projects - If you like to work on office projects or have a special skill like carpentry or computers, we need you! Festival planning is a year-round operation and we need assistance on projects throughout the year.

Stage Crew - Always popular, this fills up fast! Dedication, ability to lift heavy equipment and a willingness to work long hours and pitch in wherever the stage manager has a need is a must.

Team Venetian Ambassadors - Greet your fellow team members. Be sure they get a shirt, sign a form, get fed. Be appreciated.  Answer questions, hand out maps, give directions, and assist with Festival information.

Venetian River Run/Walk - Be there on Saturday morning to help runners and walkers get signed in, and lend assistance during and after the event.

Shifts are usually three hours and we ask that you sign up for two or more shifts.
