VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

 

​We can’t do this Festival without Volunteers!  Volunteers are THE MOST IMPORTANT thing that we have to get right!  We are committed to making the Volunteer experience fun and rewarding.  NOTE: Our Liability Insurance requires all Volunteers to be NNBA Members.

 

​For 2024, we ask Volunteers to commit to 6 hours, spread out into 2-hour (or more) shifts over the 4 days of the event. 

 

What do you get for volunteering?

  • One All Access Pass (good for all performances)

  • a free dinner on Friday (“kick off day”)

  • a 2024 T-shirt

  • snacks and water

  • Additionally, we hold two parties for the Volunteers – one before the Festival (Orientation) and one after (Celebration). 

   Your hours can be organized into 2-hour (or longer) shifts in the following

   categories (must meet a minimum commitment of 6 hours):

  • Friday – Set Up Crew at Washoe Lake State Park, starting at 1pm.  Duties include making signs, marking campsites, setting up the pavilion, driving Shuttle Van, etc.
