The National Folk Festival needs the support of more than 800 volunteers to work with festival staff and technicians to pull together an event that will make Jackson—and Mississippi—proud!
Volunteers play a vital role in building the kind of civic pride that makes a successful National Folk Festival. They shape the tone and spirit of the festival and create a warm and hospitable atmosphere for artists, crew, and attendees. Show your support and pride for Jackson by indicating your interest in volunteering here.
Benefits: All National Folk Festival volunteers will get a free t-shirt and nearby, FREE parking, and can earn service hours—PLUS, make new friends and create unforgettable memories!
Volunteers may sign up individually or with groups of friends or coworkers. Average volunteer shifts are three to four hours; prospective volunteers may sign up for several shifts during the three-day event.
The festival is a wonderful place for your family, school, office, church, or civic organization to volunteer as a group. There are dozens of opportunities for all ages to get involved—read more about the different volunteer roles below!
