Join the Festival Fun!
It's all hands on deck for the biggest festival in the midcoast! Volunteers can do as much or as little as they have time or energy for. Sit at an information table and help people navigate their day or walk in the parade route as a safety captain. Help us out behind the scenes as a volunteer!
