Apple Harvest Festival Volunteer Sign Up

Set up stages, Cocheco Courtyard, and hang sponsor banners throughout festival (lifting and ladder).

We have almost 300 Vendors and more than half of them have attended in the past. Repeat Vendors will know where to go and what to do, but others are new and need direction as to where their booth is, where to park and details about the festival. Our goal is to make their experience a pleasant one, so that they return each year. Prior experience on this task is preferred.

As Vendors arrive in the morning we offer to help them unload their vehicles and get them off the street as soon as possible

A festival this large needs those who will help keep it clean and pleasant for those attending. We place trash buckets throughout the area that will need to be monitored as they get full. Full bags are pulled, tied off and a new bag is brought up from the bottom of the barrel. Dispose of the full bag into a larger trash barrel off to the side on the sidewalk area to be taken to the dumpsters at either end of the festival. Many hands make less work. At the end of the festival a garbage truck drives down through the festival and bags and barrels are dumped. Disposable gloves are provided.

Throughout the day we check in on all the vendors to see how they are doing, give them information on where the rest rooms are, what is happening at the festival for entertainment to share with their customers and offer to give them a break if they are alone and need to get away from their booth for a few minutes. Monitor general festival area for "lost kids," "roaming vendors," "securely weighted tents," and trash barrels.

Help Vendors at the end of the day to load their vehicles and get them off the street as soon as possible and help them navigate out.
