Greetings fellow volunteers! We are most anxious to have you join us. The Siouxland Renaissance Festival relies upon 100% volunteer efforts for its organization and success. There are no paid staff positions—each and every board member, committee member, and volunteer contributes countless hours of time and effort to make the Siouxland Renaissance Festival a reality. We’d love to have you join us for whatever hours you can share, either building the festival site or working at the actual festival. Tell us about your favorite skills – or let us know you’re open to learning new things. You’ll make some special new friends.
We’re ready to start working on this year’s festival. If you are interested in volunteering to help organize the festival, work at the festival, or just want to support the festival to make sure it continues, please complete the form below. No matter how much time you have to give, it all helps!
The Volunteer Committee will match your skills and interests with our volunteer needs and contact you.
