Volunteer check-in:
Please note the location has changed this year.
Volunteer check in is located in the Information Tent in Bronson Park. On December 31, starting at 4:45, volunteers may pick up their buttons at the tent in Bronson Park. Please check in at least 15 minutes prior to the start of your shift.

Shift Times:

Button Checkers:
These individuals greet the people as they enter the buildings and check to make sure that everyone is wearing a New Year's Fest button. This is typically an "indoors" job. If you sign up early enough, this is a great spot for a group of volunteers.

Souvenir Sales:
This position is outdoors in a heated tent. We sell souvenirs and printed wear. We will also distribute free masks that kids can decorate. Volunteers will also help to provide information about the event. You really get to “mingle” with people and it’s fun!

Button Sales & Information:
This position is outdoors, but in a heated ticket booth. It's simple, you sell buttons and answer questions - we have a complete notebook with ready-to-use information.

Volunteer Check-in:
You greet the volunteers and instruct them where to go for their assignments. This is located in a heated tent in Bronson Park.

Floater:
This person acts as a support person to the other volunteers and may fill in where needed.
