Thank you for your interest in volunteering with 80/35!

As an 80/35 Volunteer, you will have access to the same things as the spectators - the music, the food, the fun and the party. You will play an essential role in the success of this entire event! By giving your time to 80/35, you're helping to create a successful event that powers local music community development throughout the year. 

Volunteer shifts for 80/35 are available Monday, July 8th through Tuesday July 16th, with our biggest needs being July 12th and 13th.  Shift are for about 4 hours each. You are welcomed to sign up for multiple shift a day(s)

With this being our first year at Water Works Park, things will be ran a little differently and there will be some new volunteer shift available.

Volunteer jobs include admissions ticket taking, selling beverage tickets, serving beverages, merchandise sales, Kid Zone, Green Team and Volunteer Headquarters, among many more jobs. This year we will also be offering some overnight shift for set up and tear down. There is something for everyone and at every age!  Sign-up with your family, friends, co-workers - all groups are welcome! We try very hard to make sure your group is able to work together.

Volunteer Benefits - in addition to the coolest Volunteer T-Shirt, you will have access to Volunteer Headquarters (VHQ), where we will provide you with everything you might need during your shift: healthy (and not healthy) snacks, light meals, water, fans, a changing area, first aid/sunscreen, bug spray, etc. You will also have a place to relax and unwind as needed throughout the festival. Don't be a stranger!
