We can’t do this without your help! The size and scope of this event requires lots of volunteers to help people get on shuttles, greet them when they arrive at the park and help with the day’s activities. If you would like to volunteer, please sign up at one of the links below (orange links). The links give more information about each job. Most shifts are about 4.50 hours long, so you can enjoy the festival, too! Shifts start and end at different times and are of different durations, so please click the underlined “Job Link” to find the time and length that fits your schedule. Volunteers will receive a Destination Dix “Staff” t-shirt to be worn during their shift. Thank you so much for your help with this event. It’s going to be a lot of fun! Please let me know if you have any questions. Volunteers for these positions will need to check in at the Nash Square Volunteer Check In table, be briefed on your role, change into your Destination Dix t-shirt, then walk or drive to your assigned location. Parking will be available in the deck or lot at which you are greeting. Volunteers will also receive a parking pass for Dorothea Dix Park to be used once their shift ends. We may need to change the location you sign up for based on volunteer availability Downtown Greeter – Volunteers will be stationed near parking decks and the shuttle pick up point to pass out shuttle wristbands, remind patrons of what they cannot bring into the park and answer any questions. Centennial Campus Greeter– Volunteers will be stationed near parking decks and the shuttle pick up point to pass out shuttle wristbands, remind patrons of what they cannot bring into the park and answer any questions.
