Volunteer Information Party

The Marblehead Festival of Arts annual Volunteer Information Party will be held Sunday, April 27, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM, at the Corinthian Yacht Club, 1 Nahant Street, on Marblehead Neck. Light refreshments will be served and a cash bar will be available. Festival Board members and Committee chairpersons will be present to discuss Festival activities and answer questions.

You don’t have to be an artist to volunteer for the Festival! The Marblehead Festival of Arts is a diverse group made up of all kinds of folks who have one thing in common—an appreciation of the arts and the desire to promote them in our community.

This all-volunteer organization doesn’t just produce the premiere local arts festival, which showcases visual and fine arts exhibits and hosts performances, films and a wide variety of family events and entertainment, but they also plan and produce a year-round series of events sponsored by the Festival.

"When you volunteer for the Festival, you become part of a great legacy here in town," said Maureen McKinnon, Volunteer Chairperson. "Next year will be our 50th Festival, and every one of those fifty years was the result of great folks coming together and working hard, but having a terrific time doing it."

A broad range of volunteer positions can be tailored to fit the individual’s time schedule. Year-round needs include computer skills, writing ability, financial acumen, fundraising expertise, event planning talent and physical strength.

During the Festival, volunteers staff art exhibits and information booths, run such events as the Model Boat Building, a Sand Sculpture Competition, Children’s Festival, Street Festival and Artisans’ Marketplace and operate the Festival’s Logo Store.
