Volunteers
Fall is coming soon and so is Norcross Art Splash Festival – this October 5 & 6! Hundreds of volunteers will be needed to help put on this annual festival of the arts. And, since we’re back on the streets of downtown Norcross, we'll be setting up Saturday morning, bright and early!
Volunteering is a great way to meet your neighbors and make new friends while welcoming lots of visitors to Norcross. All volunteers will receive a free 2024 Norcross Art Splash t-shirt. We’re also giving away lots of Volunteer Gift Certificates this year. Every other week beginning August 24, we’ll hold random drawings for $25 gift certificates which can be redeemed in the artist market during the Festival. The sooner you sign up, the greater your chances are of winning! To sign up to volunteer, please CLICK HERE. Once you click on the link, you’ll find the shifts to select. If you are choosing multiple shifts, be sure they do not overlap. Also note that some of these shifts are for adults only, due to the nature of the responsibilities. Positions will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
