Volunteer Opportunities at Rivertown Days

It takes a village to throw a party this big—and we’ve got a spot just for you! Whether you’re behind the scenes or in the heart of the action, every role helps make Rivertown Days an unforgettable experience.

What We’re Looking for in a Volunteer

We don’t ask for superpowers—just a great attitude and a little bit of hustle!

You’re our kind of person if you:

  • Can stand for a bit without turning into a statue or a garden gnome
  • Can lift around 20 lbs (like a watermelon… or a medium-sized dog)
  • Play well with others and work as part of a team
  • Stay cool under pressure and bring good energy to support the event, our guests, sponsors, and the community
  • Are 21+ (if working the beer tent)

Volunteer roles MIGHT include:

Gate Management: Welcome guests, sell tickets, and keep the energy high.

Beer Tent Crew: Serve drinks, keep things flowing, check IDs and serve up good vibes. (Must be 21+ and attend alcohol service training)

Traffic Control: Guide guests to entrances and help keep things moving smoothly.

Hospitality Team: Keep our music talent happy—stock beverages and tidy up hospitality tents.

Event Set-Up: Set the stage—place fencing, set up tents, tables, chairs, and signage.

Event Tear-Down: Help wrap up the weekend and leave things better than we found them.

Floaters: Be our on-the-ground problem-solver—check stations, assist as needed, and tackle whatever comes your way.
