Middletown’s annual eco-arts festival needs you! The festival will be held at Harbor Park from 12-5 on Saturday May 7th (but volunteer shifts start as early as 8 a.m.).  Our Facebook Event describes some of the highlights of the day — from main stage bands, to workshops, commissioned artworks, performances, environmental exhibitors, a craft fair, a video installation in the Harbor Park tunnel, food trucks, and lots of fun activities for kids. We are expecting 4,000 people if the weather is good — it’s going to be a blast. 

 

What’s in it for me? A free Riverfront Encounter t-shirt! And a chance to meet other volunteers and feel great about helping make this community event a big success. 

 

When do you need volunteers, and what will I be doing? Shifts start at 8 a.m. and continue till 7:00 p.m.. In the form below, you can choose a time slot that works for you. We need a lot of volunteers for the morning shift (setting up tables, chairs, and signs, and helping participants load in). Late afternoon/evening volunteers will help break down and clean up. Between 11 and 5:30, volunteers will be helping as needed — at water stations, information booths, stages, and more.
