Welcome DFEST Volunteers!

Dfest Volunteers More than 100 volunteers contribute many hours of their time each year to help with Dfest Music Conference & Festival. They are the face of the event, working in the Downtown Crowne Plaza, at Dfest beverage stations, and the music venues and stages.

Volunteers play an extremely important role in setting the positive and empowering vibe for the whole Dfest experience, because they're the face and voice of the event for festival patrons and conference attendees. So, we need special people to make the Dfest experience spectacular. We want everyone to remember that the festival is stellar not only for the great independent music and envigorating education, but also because of the congenial, friendly and supportive staff they encounter!

We have many different volunteer jobs available, from badge-checkers and registration staff, to photography and video crews. We also need stage managers, stage crew, hospitality, and production crews during the Music Festival. We can accommodate every level of experience.

Volunteering for DFEST can be a lot of fun, but it's not for everybody. It's a serious time commitment and there is real work involved. Although volunteers will have the opportunity to earn perks such as festival wristbands, conference badges, and VIP experiences,they can not expect to see all the shows or panels they want.

If you want to be free to see everything the event has to offer, we strongly recommend that you buy a badge or a festival wristband if you just want to attend the music festival.
