We are sending a HUGE thank you to all of our prior volunteers who have helped support our community! It takes a lot of helping hands to ensure that our festival is a success, so THANK YOU for offering your time. We welcome you to return this year. We will have sign-up sheets below for areas that need volunteers, most of which are for the food-lines inside our Community Center. There are three shifts offered over the course of the 3-day festival. You are welcome to sign up for as many shifts as you’d like.

Volunteers, when you arrive at the festival, please make sure you walk into the East gate from the Volunteer parking lot (see map below), and check in with the guard who will then direct you to the warehouse and into the area where the buffet lines are. Please make note that their are some changes being made this year with how wristbands and parking passes will be made available. Please see the new information below.
VOLUNTEER WRISTBANDS & PARKING PASSES: Please pick up your wristbands and parking passes BEFORE HAND at the Holy Trinity Cathedral (279 S 300 W) or Nichols Photo Lab (3265 S 1100 E, Salt Lake City) between August 21st – September 3. They will be available Mon-Friday 9-4 p.m. at both locations. If you go to Holy Trinity church ask for Maria/Kim, or ask for Amber if you pick up at Nichols Photo Lab.
If you don’t pick up your wristband beforehand, you will have to pay admission at the regular entrances and then go find your chairman to get your wristband. Admission fee will not be reimbursed. You may also try to contact your chairman upon arrival to have them meet you outside to give you your wristband, however there is no guarantee you will be able to get in touch the day of.
FOOD VOUCHERS: Food vouchers will be given to all volunteers on the day of your shift. Volunteer lunch will be available from 11:30 – 2:30 p.m. and dinner from 5-7:30 p.m. at the back warehouse where festival food is being prepped. All volunteers must pick up their food and go directly to seating area under the tent. No loitering in the back food area will be allowed. One food voucher per volunteer per day unless you are working a full day, then you will receive two vouchers.
