There are always volunteer opportunities in Old Town - from festivals and events to gardening to helping run things behind the scenes. And we need your help! No matter your skill level, we’d love to have you be part of our community. Here are just some of the volunteer opportunities available (if interested in something else, just let us know):

Festivals and events - from selling admission tickets to pouring drinks to greeting our guests, we have something for everyone.
