We couldn’t do it without our incredible volunteers!  Because we value the time and commitment of our volunteers, we are pleased to offer some perks to sweeten the deal and say thank you.

Volunteer Grab & Go

Our 2025 grab and go snacks location is in Nevada City, at Festival HQ at Seven Stars Gallery at 210 Spring St .  Volunteers may swing by and pick up a drink and snack to stay fueled while on shift.  We will have coffee, tea, and light refreshments throughout the weekend. Please be considerate of the working atmosphere of HQ and do not just “hang out” there – it is meant to be a grab and go location not a lounge. Thanks!
