Floaters (14-17) (18+)
This is a great place to start for new volunteers as it’s a taste of a bunch of different crews! This crew is essential as it supports all other crews onsite that are short-handed at various points during the festival. Sometimes the crew will be very busy while at other times, there may be a bit of waiting for the next assignment.

Gates (14-17) (18+)
Gates volunteers support the effective operation of Cityfolk festival entry and exit points. It is often the first contact patrons have with volunteers at the festival. This is an exciting area, as Gate volunteers move huge crowds of people in and out of the site very quickly and have a great deal of fun while doing so.

Site Services (18+)
If you love a little chaos and you want to be right in the middle of it, Site Services is your people. When a team radios “;we need this right now” we are the ones who make it happen. Fast. Loud footsteps. Clipboard energy. A tiny bit of drama, the fun kind, because this is a festival and we are the crew that keeps it from falling apart.
