Fall Festival Planning Tips

Create Booth-Specific Sheets

Give each game booth or activity station its own set of volunteer time slots so coverage is clear and no booth is left unstaffed.

Include Behind-the-Scenes Roles

Do not forget parking attendants, first aid volunteers, lost-and-found monitors, and trash collectors.

Stagger Volunteer Shifts

Use 1-2 hour shifts so volunteers can also enjoy the festival with their families instead of working the entire time.

Recruit Early and Wide

Start recruiting 6 weeks out. Fall festivals need 50-100+ volunteers — you cannot start too early.
