  • Yes. There are vendors to purchase food from on the festival grounds. Volunteers working a shift that is 5 hours or longer will receive a complimentary light meal during their break or before or after their shift.

  • Yes, $3.50. All Active volunteers are required to pay a refundable $100 deposit before the festival. This will be refunded minus a $3.50 processing fee. We count on our team and need some assurance that volunteers will show up and complete their duties. 

  • An order form will be provided. The person paying the deposit can do so for up to four volunteers who they will list on the form.

  • Paying a deposit commits you to volunteering for a minimum of 10 hours at All Your Friends Fest. Once you have shown up on time for your shifts, fulfilled your volunteer duties and abided by festival rules and regulations, your deposit - minus a $3.50 administrative fee - will be refunded within a week of the end of the festival.

  • Anyone not fulfilling their volunteer commitments, not abiding by festival rules and regulations, or dropping out after June 10, will default on their deposit, forgoing a refund. Causes for default include, but are not limited to: 

    • Cancelling after June 10

    • Not showing up for a shift for any reason

    • Arriving to a shift more than 20 minutes late

    • Taking an extended break while on duty

    • Not abiding by festival rules and regulations (outlined here)

    • Not abiding by volunteer program rules and regulations 

  • Primary assignments are: 

    • Event Entrance Gates (scanning wristbands as patrons enter the festival)

    • Garbage Trading Post (assisting our onsite waste management team)

    • Info / Lost & Found (itemizing found items, assisting with reuniting with owner)

    • Tolls (scanning tickets and parking passes of attendee vehicles as they arrive)

    • Volunteer HQ (assisting volunteer deployments and questions)

    Water Stations (refilling reusable water bottles)

  • Yes! Day parking, tent and RV camping in the volunteer area are provided. See volunteer rewards listed above. IMPORTANT: We provide the space; you bring the gear.

  • That’s a great way to participate! We encourage you to sign up with friends or family so you can share the experience and enjoy the festival in your off time. With self-scheduling, we can’t guarantee that you will both be in the same assignment at the same time but if you sign up for your shifts together, you should be able to accomplish this. We’ll help wherever we can – because friends are awesome.

  • You will be able to self-schedule, choosing your own shifts and assignments based on availability at the time of scheduling. Once deployment needs are finalized closer to the festival, an online schedule will be posted. Volunteers are given access after their deposit has been submitted.

  • We count on our volunteer team and offer a competitive rewards package in exchange for your time. Each wristband has a unique ID registered to you personally. Any no-shows, inappropriate behavior, walking-off-the-job, or not fulfilling volunteer obligations in any way, would result in the default of your refundable deposit and the immediate cancellation of your wristband. This would mean that you would not have your deposit refunded, be able to move around the site, buy anything, or get in and out of the festival or volunteer camping area.

  • Campsites are 20 x 20 square feet. To qualify for an Accessible Campsite, you will need to provide a valid accessible parking license plate, placard or hang tag upon arrival. 

  • Yes! We also offer complimentary RV parking in staff and volunteer camping/parking (volunteers only, there is a paid lot for patrons). Sites are 20 x 50. Power hookups are available for purchase. Closer to the festival date, we will provide an order form to fill out in advance. Non-power spots are complimentary, however you will have to pay for your own pump outs and water service as needed through the companies providing these services onsite.
