Volunteer: Freedom Festival Floater 2026

Do you like jumping in and helping out where needed?  Then we want YOU to be a Freedom Festival Floater!


What does a 'Floater' do?  All the things!  You'll check on other volunteers and see if they need a bottle of water.  Maybe sub in for a bouncy volunteer so they can have a shade break or bathroom break.  Maybe hop into the info tent to help out in case someone is running late.  Keep watch over the kids corn box, keep the picnic tables tidy, pass out brochures, etc.  Basically a jack of all trades!


Bring a friend and hang out at the Festival and help it run smoothly!

Safety first!

Join our team of vigilant volunteers as a safety squad member at the festival.
