Do I qualify to volunteer at the XPoNential Music Festival?

If you are at least 16 and have already signed up to be an XPN volunteer, then you qualify. You do not have to have volunteered with us before to help us out at the festival.

General Information About Festival Volunteering

We do our best to make the hard work of volunteering at the XPoNential Music Festival fun! Here's some important information for Festival Volunteers:

  • Flexibility and a sense of humor are a wonderful asset!
  • Each day you volunteer at the festival you get in for free. You do not need to purchase a ticket for the day(s) you are scheduled to work as an XPN volunteer.
  • Lunch will be provided on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There are a limited number of lunches available, but there should be plenty to feed everyone who is volunteering for that shift. If you are volunteering for an earlier or later shift, feel free to stop by the Volunteer Check-In Booth to see if there are any extra lunches.
  • Volunteers are responsible for their own transportation, food and other personal expenses.
  • You must be at least 16 to volunteer for the XPoNential Music Festival.
  • Volunteers will receive a free Volunteer Festival T-Shirt to be worn while volunteering.

Volunteer T-Shirt will be Provided
We want you to stand out at the festival

So that our volunteers can be easily recognized, we are providing all festival volunteers with one Volunteer Festival T-Shirt that is to be worn while you are volunteering during the festival.

One (1) shirt will be provided to each volunteer, free of charge, and the yellow Volunteer T-Shirt must be worn while you are volunteering at the festival.

Please make your best estimate as to what size you would like, as it would be next to impossible for us to determine what size will fit you the best. We need you to indicate your t-shirt selection and size below.
