Yack Folk Festival: March 22-24, 2024
Tickets now sold out
Calling All Volunteers…..
Hi Folks,
As we’ve mentioned before, we have operated on a virtually 100% volunteer work force each and every year for our 25 year history. Many festivals have ceased to exist now because of a sharp downturn in the number of people offering to help run these events. Simply put, Yackandandah Folk Festival might well be seeing its last year of being viable if we do not get the required number of volunteer applications (about 200) to be able to safely staff our 7 venues across the whole weekend in 2024. This means we are putting out a final call for people to come and lend us a hand. The 8 committee members cannot run the festival by ourselves. There are too many places to be all at once for us to be able to cover every spot and ensure that the event does not run into serious problems due to a lack of support. You will note above that we have again sold out ahead of time (5 years in a row now!), so our popularity with attendees and musicians alike is solid. Our reputation rests on the fact we provide quality music in a safe and welcoming environment and we depend on friendly volunteers to help us maintain that reputation. Please consider helping out, even if it’s only for a few hours on one day. Every bit helps us fill important roles within the event. In some cases, you may still be able to secure either a discounted or free ticket to a sold out event if you sign on for the required number of hours indicated on the form. in this case, you will be required to get in touch with our volunteer coordinator on arrival at our ticket office (our staff will have her number), provide your contact number and confirm your availability to help prior to receiving your wristbands. If you have already signed up, our volunteers team will be in touch very soon to confirm your allotted tasks for 2024’s festival. Thank You! Your patience in this regard is appreciated. Cheers
