We have (3) types of volunteers for our festivals: 


​If you are interested in volunteering or inquiring about your group volunteering, please email us at Volunteer@SmithfieldVAEvents.com.

GROUPS: Charitable, Non-profit or Service Organizations or Businesses with a charitable foundation or initiative that want to raise money for their cause need to  pre-register with us and provide us a Group Leader to coordinate with.  

We assigned jobs or "spots" to a group to fill.  We use a on-line program call SIGNUP, that you go into and view the spots and pick one. There is a deadline to sign up and if you don't fill all your spots, they are given to other groups.

After an event is over, we total up all the hours worked by your group and make a donation to your organization.  


Group leaders are responsible for getting their members signed up by the deadline, understanding general knowledge of assigned spots and ensuring that the folks signing up are able to perform the jobs they sign up for.

INDIVIDUAL VOLUNTEERS:  In advance of the fest, individual volunteers sign up by working with the Assist. Fest Coordinator. For working a shift (4-5 hours usually) they can choose to: a) donate their hours to a charitable cause, b) receive a volunteer event shirt and a $15 gift card to a local restaurant or a ticket to attend the fest after their shift (if they work first shift). 

Indiv Vol also can choose to work an all-day shift. 

SUPERSTAR VOLUNTEERS: This special group of folks work with us on a higher level and supervise an area of the event.  They work 10-15 hours day of the festival, and usually some the days before and after a festival. They return year after year, and also assist us in-between festivals.  Donations based on their number of hours worked are donated to their favorite charitable organization. ​
