Music and Art Festivals

We know that volunteers are critical to the success of your festival, fair or parade. That's why we've integrated event-centric features into our platform to address the unique needs of customers like you across the world. Whether your volunteers are serving beer or painting faces, our system helps everyone claim the volunteer job and shift they want, while providing you the key tools you need to manage the masses and make your event a success.


With VolunteerLocal, you can relay critical information to volunteers in a timely manner using our broadcast communication tool. Send or schedule messages to your volunteers by job, shift or event-wide. Increase volunteer retention with free festival tickets to those who give four hours or more, and collect credit card deposits from volunteers in the amount of the ticket they'll earn at the completion of their shift.


For high priority jobs and shifts, use our tiered recruitment methodology to pick which jobs should be displayed on the live registration page first. Want to give early-bird access to last year's volunteers? No problem. Password protect one or multiple jobs for specialized groups to access privately.

Living in a small city, I sort of fell into the role of volunteer coordinator. Over the past year I have been using VolunteerLocal to help organize my volunteers for local events ranging from music, films and culture. This application has helped me succeed without a doubt. It has been incredibly flexible for each particular event allowing me to customize confirmation e-mails and information boxes to critique my database with all convenient information. And the volunteers love the simple sign-up as well. It truly cancels out the normally confusing sign-up process. And, in all honesty, I don't know what I would do without this great application. It's the perfect tool for the job, and not to mention how great the support team is. I would highly recommend VolunteerLocal for your volunteer coordinating needs.
