2024 Campbell Bay Music Festival Volunteer Opportunities:

Setup / Teardown
Build it up, tear it down! We need your muscle and your wits for long days before and after the fest, and you get to take the whole festival off. Must commit to being available for daytime shifts on Thursday before the festival, and Monday after the festival.

Site
Maintenance, cleanup, garbage collection / organizing recycling stations, and more! Building things, digging things, carrying things. Fun, mobile work. This team generally has shorter, chiller shifts than some other committees.

Parking
This friendly committee are the first greeters at the festival. The role is all about organizing cars as they come in, helping attendees get oriented, and looking over the beautiful view into Campbell Bay.

Guest Information & Directions
These volunteers help direct festival go-ers around the festival grounds and make sure people have the info they need. This committee will usually involve some evening shifts while the music is going BUT also has fewer volunteer hours than other committees, AND you can often see the bands from your volunteer station!

Kitchen
This team helps prep, cook and serve food, and cleans up after mealtimes. We’ll be feeding performers and volunteers from Friday evening through Sunday evening, so we need volunteers from the Thursday before through the Monday after the festival to help with setup, prep, cleaning, and teardown of the kitchen. Pre- and post-festival shifts are available, as well as weekend work! Kitchen helpers are some of the most beloved people at the festival.

Gate
As a gate volunteer, you will be one of the first people guests meet when they arrive on the festival grounds. You will work in teams and greet people, exchange tickets for wristbands, orient them to the grounds, and answer any questions that they have. This shift generally has one very busy shift as the festival starts, and some chill shifts to answer questions late in the festival. Some later night shifts are required.

Medical Tent 
Seeking folks with first aid or medical training who can act as first responders if necessary. Fewer hours than some committees but it's important to have dedicated and caring people in these roles. Some shifts go into later parts of the evening.

Merch 
This team staffs the merch booth! Selling performer albums and shirts, and festival shirts and memorabilia. Helping folks find artist mailing lists. Masters of organization and keeping track of materials are ideal for this role. Some early festival work (Thursday afternoon, friday morning) is needed on this committee.

Bar
Staff the zone selling local beer and cider. Should be fast and friendly, and must be 19+ and have a Serving It Right license.

Artist Shuttle
Driving performers between the ferry, their billets, and the festival site. Must have a valid driver's license and a cell phone. This role requires volunteers to remain sober during evening shifts or be up relatively early to get artists to morning ferries on Sunday.

Floaters
We need reliable folks who can take on a wide variety of roles throughout the festival. You’ll be part of a crew that we can rely on to jump in and fill gaps in just about any committee, or take on jobs we haven’t even imagined yet. This may include helping with perimeter control at the main stage, supporting last minute set up ideas, or helping in short bursts at busy places like the front gate or kitchen.
