Shelburne Falls PorchFest is almost here, and we’d love to have you join the volunteer team. PorchFest works because our community shows up for each other—and even one shift makes a huge difference.
We’re asking folks to sign up for at least one volunteer shift if they’re able. You’re absolutely welcome (and encouraged!) to enjoy the day, walk around, and take in the performances before or after your shift. The goal is simple: help for a bit, celebrate for the rest.
Most roles are light‑lift—things like greeting attendees, helping with performer check‑ins at the info tent. If you’re interested in working more than one shift, there are a few easy ways to do that. In addition to helping at the information table, you can also sign up for a set‑up or clean‑up shift. These roles pair well together and give you the chance to support PorchFest at different points in the day while still having plenty of time to wander, listen, and enjoy the performances.
Thank you for considering it. PorchFest is community-powered, and your time truly makes the event possible.
PorchFest is powered by the creativity of our community — and we’d love to share your favorite photos and videos. If you captured great performances, porches, crowds, or behind‑the‑scenes moments, send them our way.
