Help create the festival you love!
Volunteer Positions will open April 1st for Ocrafolk Festival 2025 and we have many positions to fill! Folks have such a good time volunteering for Ocrafolk, some people say it is the highlight of their weekend (they may be crazy but we love em for it). 4 hours Volunteering = 1 All Weekend Pass. No matter your activity level, we will try to find a job for you. Just follow the instructions below.
How to sign up to Volunteer
A. Determine Volunteer Job ~ Look at the tasks below and find the job that is right for you. Although you will be able to hear the music from all volunteer locations, the stages may not be visible if you are outside of a stage audience area. Most Volunteer tasks are in 2 hour blocks, so you can select two separate ones to make up your 4 hour time commitment throughout the weekend. Of course, you can do more than 4 hours if you wish!
B. Click the Volunteer Signup Button at the Bottom of the Page ~ This will take you to our volunteer form where you can see the times that are open for the jobs you are interested in. Pick the job you want and input your contact email and phone number.
C. Look for an Email from from Us Asking for Your Ticket Names ~ We will be in touch with you to assist with your Volunteer Ticket Reservation by mid May.
D. Volunteer check-in at Ocrafolk ~ When you come to Ocrafolk, check in at your volunteer location 15 minutes before your scheduled time, so that the previous volunteer can talk you through your tasks. If you aren't sure where to go, check in at the main Merch tent in the Artisan Village.
