Did you know that it takes well over 1,000 volunteer hours during the festival to ensure things run smoothly?

Your help REALLY matters!

When you sign up to volunteer, you will receive a confirmation email, a reminder a week before the date, and day before the date for your volunteer slot. Your contact information will be sent to the Point of Contact for that task, as well as to Pamela Pope, the Volunteer Coordinator, at volunteer@anchoragefolkfestival.org.

Using the name and email you provide, you’ll be contacted about the positions for which you’ve signed up. Volunteers  get free admission into the events they volunteer for.

If you have questions about what’s involved you can contact the 2025 Volunteer Coordinator, Pamela Pope, at volunteer@anchoragefolkfestival.org

Interested in volunteering backstage? Send an email to stagemanager@ancfolkfestbackstage.rocks to get onto the schedule. There will be stage-hand training sessions on the main stage at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium in January…stay tuned for more details.

Thank you! We couldn’t put on a festival without volunteers like you.

Dance Events Support

These positions support the dances with our guest artists, selling tickets at the front door or merchandise during the event.

Festival Preparation

We need help loading and unloading gear from the storage unit, then getting it set up at the Wendy Williams. Then we get to bring it all down and put it away when the party’s over. If you have a truck and like to move gear you are in the right place!

Lobby/Merchandise

You can help us run the merch tables for our Parlor in the Round or Main stage events.
