Volunteers
For the festival to work we need the volunteers!
When you participate as a volunteer on the festival, you will of course get free entrance to the festival Friday and Saturday. There will also be a small catering with sandwiches, coffe etcetera on the festival that the volunteers can access. You work 8 hour total during the festival, or 10 hours before or after the actual festival.
The volunteer form is now closed.
On Thursday the 25th of February 2016 we have a meeting at Umeå Folkets Hus at 6.30 p.m. in the room Grim, - it is very important to participate for all volunteers to prepare for the festival!
