Interested in Volunteering?
As you can imagine, putting together an action-packed festival takes a lot of volunteer effort and coordination.  We could use your help on the days of the festival for various jobs such as helping at the merchandise tents or beverage stand.
 
The committees that works together to put on the festival could also use your help prior to the event.  If you have interest and experience to share, your service is most welcome.

For more information on volunteering in either capacity, please contact Marisa Carroll, Director of Events at (407) 644-8281 or mcarroll@winterpark.org.
