Community Service

Festival is an ongoing experiment in community building. The health of our community is entirely supported and maintained through the cooperative participation of each person attending this event.

In the spirit of give and take, each participant has the opportunity to sign-up for daily service responsibilities. The minimum expectation for all volunteers is a commitment to one shift for every two day period you attend Festival. Your efforts to participate on a daily basis, no matter the length of your stay, can greatly enhance the opportunities to enjoy yourself and to feel a part of the group.  More men making the effort to maintain this event makes this an easier task for all.

Shift tasks you may choose include: preparing meals, cleaning the kitchen and dining hall, cleaning the bathhouse and privies, and sorting and disposing of recyclables and trash. A sign-up roster for these and other community tasks is available in the Dining Hall. Please sign up for service shifts as soon as possible after arriving.
