opportunities available
Cajun Fest relies on a team of volunteers to bring the event to life. With various roles to choose from, there's a spot for you! All volunteers must be over the age of 13, and for certain positions (as noted in the description), 18 or older. Work your designated shift to receive your Cajun Fest ticket and volunteer t-shirt. T-Shirts will be distributed upon your arrival for your shift.
Thank you in advance for your willingness to help celebrate Cajun culture and support local charities! For any questions, please email Volunteer Lead Karter Smith at karterksmith@gmail.com.
