We love festival volunteers

Thanks for your interest in volunteering for the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts. We’re proud of the great job our volunteers do to make the festival a continued success year after year. Volunteering is also a great way to meet and assist artists from around the world and just generally enjoy the atmosphere here in beautiful downtown Tampa.

Before or after your tour of volunteer duty, you will be able to visit the artists’ booths, try festival food or stop near the stage to hear the day’s musicians. As a token of thanks, you also will receive a festival T-shirt.

We need more than 200 volunteers to help make the festival run smoothly each year. Opportunities include Artist Check-In, Security, Traffic Assistance, Artist Hospitality, T-Shirt Booth and Concessions, and Signage Assistance is needed prior to the event with setup, during the weekend and for breakdown on Sunday evening. Shifts are two to four hours, depending on the area.
