Richmond Folk Festival Needs Volunteers

The premiere festival in Richmond is less than two months away and preparations are in full gear. It takes an army of volunteers to put this on and your help is more needed than ever. This is an opportunity to act together as one community. Volunteers come from city, county and country. When you help you help create a greater Richmond that is not divided by politics or boundaries. You will make new friends and feel a sense of pride and ownership you will carry with you. Last years festival was the best ever and with your help we will equal and surpass it. There are all kinds of ways you can help, from working on the bucket brigade to helping build the stages.

If you have never been, the Richmond Folk Festival takes place downtown along the James River. It is one of the most spectacular festival sights in the country. You will wander around Civil War sites and a canal dating back two centuries. There is a certain magic in the air as you walk the grounds and mingle with your fellow Richmonders. They are three days of celebration and music worth remembering.
