Albuquerque Folk Festival

Volunteering

How YOU can help the festival?

At the Albuquerque Folk Festival, Volunteers do everything!

The Festival is produced and presented by approximately 700 volunteers. About 120 of those produce the Festival and do such tasks as setup, workshops, ticket handling, sound, raffles, photography, logistics, etc. Committees do all the preparation and follow-up including planning, performances, fundraising, web pages, programs, recruiting, decorations, etc., etc., and we are always looking for help in these areas, and more activities as well.

A committee member is part of the pre-event planning team - a "Key" volunteer (manager). But remember that committees begin far in advance of the festival and require varied hours.

In return for volunteering, you get free entrance to the Festival, a Folk Festival T-Shirt, all concerts and activities, and an invitation to the Post Festival Party and Jam. If you are interested, please call Trylla Esherick (Volunteer coordinator) at (505) 299-8393 or Erika Gerety (Festival Director) at (505) 294-6909 or e-mail volunteers@abqfolkfest.org.
