With only a week until the first notes of the 2023 Montana Folk Festival, more specific needs for volunteers are becoming clear. Festival organizers are recruiting new volunteers for the 2023 Festival on July 14, 15, and 16 and updating their database for returning volunteers, too.
"Specific areas where we need the most help include Operations set up and tear down, Stage crew assistance building and breaking down stages, Backstage Hospitality, Info Booths, Beverage Ticket Sales, and Beverage Servers," said Festival Coordinator George Everett.
"If any of these roles sound interesting, visit the festival website for more details at http://montanafolkfestival.com/pages/forms-applications/volunteer.php. While there you can also find a link to our online database to sign up."
For those new to this opportunity, shifts are four hours although many volunteers often decide to stay longer if they are having fun. Volunteers signed up for shifts get a free T-shirt and a chance to see the festival unfold from a unique perspective -- from the inside.
For more information on how to volunteer for the Montana Folk Festival and the operations tasks still in need of volunteers, visit www.montanafolkfestival.com or email Bernie Shelton at
