Volunteer
Join the beat!
Choose a task that suits you best
The Survey Squad
Be our data champions! You’ll roam the fest with a QR code or tablet to collect quick digital feedback from fans. This info is vital for securing the grants that keep JazzFest free!
The Marketplace Crew
Support our local makers and artisans by helping with booth coordination and keeping the “Village” shopping experience smooth.
The Green Team
Help us maintain a “Leave No Trace” event. You’ll help our festival clean-up crew manage waste and recycling stations to keep the Selby-Milton corridor beautiful during the event.
The Bucket Brigade
High-energy volunteers needed to walk the crowd during set breaks. Your mission: collect the community donations that keep the music playing.
The Roadies
The “Muscle” of the fest. Help us transform the street into a festival grounds in the morning or help us pack it all away once the music ends.
Artist Hospitality
Help our musicians feel that Rondo love! Assist with artist check-in, stage water, and keeping the hospitality area stocked.
Family Fun Zone Helpers
You’ll be the heartbeat of our youngest festival-goers’ experience, creating a safe, joyful space where they can play and explore.
Street Ambassadors
Help with wayfinding and safety. You’ll point folks toward the stage or food court and help manage our festival boundaries.
Hydration Heroes
Keep the crew going! You’ll ensure all volunteers and staff have access to cold water and ice throughout the day.
Volunteer Perks
Fuel for the Day
Complimentary snacks and cold water, plus a meal voucher for our food vendors.
The Official Gear
A limited-edition 2026 JazzFest Volunteer T-shirt.
The Best Seat in the House
You’ll be right in the center of the action.
Community Impact
Great for resumes, student service hours, and meeting your neighbors.
F.A.Qs
Most shifts are roughly 2–3 hours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the festival before or after your shift. We’ll take however much time you are able to give us!
To keep the festival green, we do not use paper programs. Our Survey Squad and Ambassadors will be trained to help guests scan QR codes for the digital schedule and map.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Younger volunteers (12+) are welcome if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Wear your volunteer shirt (provided at check-in), comfortable closed-toe shoes, and your favorite pair of sunglasses!
