Want to volunteer at Taste of Eau Claire?

Volunteers are often the first and the last contacts a visitor has with an event and for that reason and many more, volunteers are crucial to the event’s success. We are looking for energetic and friendly volunteers to help make this Taste of Eau Claire a tremendous success!

There are various ways for you, your family, or your organization to get involved with Taste of Eau Claire this year. Below you will find the positions available and information on how to sign up!

Ambassadors

Ambassador volunteers provide the first and last impression customers experience at the event.

Friends of the Festival

Friends of the Festival volunteers are the eyes and ears of the event. They serve the dual purpose of helping the event run smoothly and making the customers feel appreciated.

Taste of Eau Claire Bankers

Bankers have a dual role of ensuring the safety of the incoming cash during the festival as well as verifying vendor ticket values once the event concludes.

Children’s Activity Volunteers
Children’s activities keep families engaged for longer periods of time, and help to ensure a successful event.

Setup (6:00 – 9:00 am)

Setup volunteers will ensure things run smoothly during the setup process.

Cleanup volunteers ensure the smooth exit of all vendors and help return the park to its original condition.

Food Ticket Sales
