VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Strawberry Music Festivals! While the majority of our volunteers return each festival, we always need to fill some open positions, sometimes at the very last minute. We are looking for individuals who are reliable, punctual, conscientious, and will enjoy playing a role in the Strawberry community. Please find the application linked at the bottom of this page.

There are typically more applicants than available positions. Please note we will contact you if you are chosen for a position — this could happen anytime between now and the festival. If, after submitting your application, you have additional information or are no longer interested in volunteering, please let us know. 

TICKETING

IMPORTANT: Please do not buy a ticket if you are already confirmed or would like to volunteer.

If you have already purchased a ticket to the festival and have since been confirmed to volunteer, you are eligible to receive a worker refund AFTER the festival has taken place and you have fulfilled your volunteer obligation. Please return your purchased ticket to the Strawberry Office by November 10. Thank you for your cooperation.
