Volunteer at the Festival

Our volunteers play a crucial role in the success of the Festival. If you haven’t already been recruited by Daisy Tatum, who has personally recruited thousands of the Festival’s volunteers over the last 35 years, you’ve come to the right place! Daisy’s volunteers, many of whom have been with her for decades, including some who started volunteering in high school and who are now adults with their own children, are a great pride to her—and to the Festival. Daisy’s favorite aspect of the Festival is “having the community involved.” Her biggest challenge each year is to ensure her volunteers are happy and their needs are met. Her favorite way of handling situations is to “smile but be firm.” And, if you know “Ms. Tatum,” as she’s normally addressed, you know her strategy works.
