  • Business committee member — selling advertising space in the Festival Guide, working with restaurants and local businesses to provide discounts to Festival musicians, and working with local restaurants to stay open late during the Festival.
  • Assisting with publicity for youth programs and the Festival.
  • Helping with youth programs; in particular, we are in need of a volunteer to assist with office work for the Fiddlesticks! program.
