Additional Festival Volunteers
Many thanks to our other Festival Volunteers that have not assumed a lead role, but who are actively involved with Festival Planning.
And, many thanks to the volunteers that assist before and during the Festival to help with set-up, tear-down, parking, etc.
The Black Forest Festival is an important community event and it could not happen without the help from so many volunteers.
If you are interested in contributing to your community and the Festival, we would love to have you join us!
