Volunteer at Eken Park Festival

Our annual festival, Eken Park Festival, is coming up in August. Did you know that it’s an entirely volunteer effort? We’re seeking volunteers for this year’s festival, which will be Saturday, August 17th. Volunteering is a great way to support the festival and get to know your neighbors. You can sign up here. Volunteers help with setting up, selling beer, emptying trash bins, and keeping things running smoothly. We also need volunteers to help with our fantastic kids area.

A picture of a previous year's festival. In the front, a sign says "Eken Park Fest August 17th, 11am-8pm". Behind the sign are metal butterfly sculptures and yellow flowers. In the background is a crowd of people. At the top, a hot dog with mustard has a propellor and is trailing a sign that says "Now in the actual park".
