Online Registration is NOW AVAILABLE!

Volunteers who sign up for at least six hours will receive an All-Event ticket. A wristband will be available for you to pick up at the will-call table at the Adorni Center beginning Thursday evening, October 2. Please bring your ID.

Roles Include:

Venue Helper: This is our most needed job, as they do the bulk of the work. Assignments can include answering questions such as “where are the restrooms?”, monitoring the exits that are not being used for entry and egress during the festival, checking for wristbands/badges and directing those without one to where they can buy one or exchanging a ticket for one, installing wristbands (not too tight, not too loose), and exchanging tickets for wristbands. Also, venue helpers will assist with collecting loose trash during breaks between performers and at the end of the day. Volunteer attire for Venue Helpers is black pants and a white top or Redwood Coast Music Festival shirt. Please, no shorts or flip-flops.
Cashier: Cashiers are needed at the Adorni Center and at the Eureka Theater. The duties are to sell merchandise and tickets. It’s helpful to have experience using a computer, cellular data phone, iPad, cash register system, and credit card processing applications. Training will be provided. This position requires attending a training session (at least 2 will be offered at dates and times that will be determined as we get closer) prior to the festival. Attire for Cashier volunteers is black pants and a white top or Redwood Coast Music Festival shirt. Please, no shorts or flip-flops.

Band Hospitality: At the Sequoia Conference Center, assist in food preparation, presentation, and serving band members while they dine. Attire for Band Hospitality volunteers is black pants and a white top or Redwood Coast Music Festival shirt. Please, no shorts or flip-flops. Also, bring a jacket and/or other appropriate clothing to keep warm as you move food from the kitchen, across the parking lot, and to the band dining area. There will be a mandatory training session prior to the festival.

Set-up: Thursday, October 2. Tasks include moving and setting up a stage, setting up chairs, decorating, etc. Heavy lifting up to 60 lbs. may be required. Times will be determined as we get closer to the festival. Work attire is required.
Tear Down: Monday, October 6. Tasks include tearing down and moving the stage, taking down chairs and decorations, etc. Heavy lifting up to 60lbs. may be required. Times will be determined as we get closer to the festival. Work attire is required.
Band Shuttle Drivers: Transport festival musicians in our rented Minivans in the Eureka area between hotels and venues. Must have a clean driving record. Drivers are needed Thursday through Sunday. The sign-up for this role looks different than the other roles, as we currently don’t know the transport needs for the bands yet. Once we get closer to the festival, we will call you to find out when you are available and match you with what is needed. If this looks like something you want to do, sign up now and someone will call you and figure out a schedule. In the sign-up database, you’ll find a work shift for each of the 4 days of the festival. Each of these 4 shifts will be for one of the days from opening to closing of the festival. We are not asking for you to sign up to work the entire day, you’ll be expressing your availability and desire to work a few hours (or more) on that day or multiple days.

Also, look over the email address you use to assure that there are no typos and gives an email address that doesn’t work and you won’t remember. Also, write down your password so you can access the volunteer site if you need to change the shifts for which you signed up, although “forgot my password” works most of the time.

It also asks for your street address which we don’t need. We would like to know in which city you live, but it’s not absolutely necessary. We need your cell phone so we can call or text you to see if we can ask you to fill a shift that is seriously understaffed.

You will only be shown available shifts for roles that you check. You can filter the various work shifts available by role (venue helper, cashier, setup…) by venue (Adorni, Eagle House…) and sign up for available shifts that suit your schedule and desires. Remember, if you sign up for at least 6 hours, you get a free All Event ticket that will get you into all six venues for the entire weekend.
