Additional Festival Volunteers

Many thanks to our other Festival Volunteers who have not assumed a lead role but are actively involved with Festival planning.

Many thanks also to the volunteers who assist before and during the Festival with setup, tear-down, parking, and other essential tasks.

The Black Forest Festival is an important community event, and it could not happen without the help of so many volunteers.

If you are interested in contributing to your community and the Festival, we would love to have you join us!
