The Maryland Folk Festival needs the support of more than 750 volunteers to work with Festival staff and technicians to pull together an event that will make Salisbury—and Maryland—proud!

All Maryland Folk Festival volunteers will make great memories and enjoy more than a few pleasant surprises. At the end of the day, volunteers will go home with a free T-shirt and the undying gratitude of Festival attendees and organizers.

Volunteers may sign up individually or with groups of friends or business associates. Average volunteer shifts are three to four hours; prospective volunteers may sign up for several shifts during the three-day event.

When you sign up for a shift, you will receive an automatic email confirmation of your application. Training will be provided to all volunteers.
