Volunteers Needed!

Volunteer applications will be available on June 4! Sign up for the newsletter to find out when the volunteer applications are available. There are plenty of ways to help out!

Volunteer Benefits

All volunteers work a single eight (8) hour shift in exchange for a 2-Day GA ticket. Watermelon Pickers’ Fest volunteers can enjoy the festival before and after working their assigned shifts.

Volunteer Requirements

• Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older, conscientious, energetic, courteous, and polite.
• Most positions require you to be on your feet and active for the majority of your 8 hour shift. Please note if you are physically unable to do so.
• Applications must be submitted before August 15, 2024.

Volunteer Deposit

Volunteers will be required to pay a deposit ($60). This deposit will be refunded upon completion of your scheduled volunteer shift.

We realize this may be an inconvenience, but this is the best way to ensure that volunteers show up and stay for their shift.

Your volunteer application will be considered complete upon payment of the deposit fee. A ticket purchase link will be sent to you in an email after submitting the application. After you pay the deposit you will be assigned a volunteer shift based on your application.

You will not be assigned a volunteer shift until we receive your deposit payment.
