Well over two-hundred volunteers contribute annually to keep the Tucson Folk Festival running smoothly. The Tucson Folk Festival can only happen each year with volunteer support. It’s such fun to be a part of this event and we love our volunteers!
We use the SignUpGenius online program for our festival volunteers, listing all the positions available along with the shifts scheduled. If you would like to be a Festival volunteer, just click on the SignUpGenius button below, choose the day, job, and shift you want, and enter your name. Alternatively, you can email the Volunteer Coordinators at Volunteers@tkma.org. Someone will follow up with you regarding any training, if required, and answer any questions you may have.
And thank you. We can’t make this happen without our volunteers – and we’re all volunteers! It is our incredible volunteers that truly enable the Tucson Folk Festival to remain FREE to the public since 1986!
