2026 Volunteer Application Form - 24th Dorrigo Folk & Bluegrass Festival 2026


VOLUNTEER APPLICATION FORM

2026 Dorrigo Folk & Bluegrass Festival

Volunteer Application Form.

 

My name is Stephen Thiering, and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the 2026 festival.

We value our volunteers highly and want to create a friendly and supportive atmosphere within teams and between volunteers and the organising committee.
You are recognised for your unique qualities and the contributions you bring to your team and the festival overall.
Our aim is for you to enjoy yourself while helping to make the festival a success.

We want everyone has a fair mix of hours. This will help you attend as many music performances and workshops as possible—after all, that’s a big part of why you’re here!

We have also adjusted the number of volunteers assigned to each team at different times during the festival. Last year, some teams were over-staffed while others were under-staffed, which led to uneven workloads. These changes are designed to make things fairer and more enjoyable for everyone.

Your roster requests will be carefully considered, and we’ll communicate our decisions to you individually..

Thank you again for your commitment to the 2026 Dorrigo Folk & Bluegrass Festival.
Your enthusiasm and unique qualities help make our event special.

We look forward to working with you and creating a fantastic festival together
