Become a Fremont Oktoberfest Volunteer!

Thanks for your interest in becoming a Fremont Oktoberfest Volunteer. The Fremont Oktoberfest is a celebration of fall and all it has to offer – great weather and great beer. We hope you can find a chance to join us by volunteering.

The Fremont Oktoberfest is excited to partner with Shiftboard.com to bring you a new and improved way to sign up and manage your volunteer shifts. Begin by creating an account along with what "teams" (brewery help, kids' area, merchandise, etc.) you want to be a part of. We will approve your membership and then you're free to start adding shifts.

VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION

Age Requirements:

There are many shifts that are not age dependent but to volunteer in The Stranger Microbrew Garden you must be 21 years old or older.

T-shirts:

As a volunteer you will receive an official Volunteer T-shirt donated by Desteenation Shirt Company, which will be your uniform during your shift. You are required to wear it while working.

Free Admission to the event:

In addition to a great time, you will receive a free admission to the event. At the end of your shift you will be given a festival mug and 6 tastes. WA State Liquor Law prohibits drinking before or during a shift and this will be strictly enforced. For those of you who sign up for a Saturday evening or Sunday shift, you are welcome to attend the festival on a prior day granted that you return for your shift on Saturday or Sunday. You will receive only ONE admission per shift worked.

Check-In:

Please check-in before your scheduled shift start time. Look for the volunteer check-in signs as you approach the Fremont Oktoberfest Entrance located on N. 35th St at Phinney Ave N.

Attendance:

We rely on your presence and showing up for your shift on time. If your schedule changes please update it on your Shiftboard account.

Volunteer Orientation:

All new volunteers are requested to attend the Volunteer Orientation. At the meeting you will meet the festival staff and Volunteer Coordinators. We will go over event logistics and get you fully prepared for your shift.

If you have not previously volunteered and are unable to attend the orientation please arrive 15 minutes before your shift to be briefed on festival policies.

The Volunteer Orientation location and time is Thurday, Sept. 11th at 6pm at Adobe in Fremont.
