Volunteer Information

The International Children's Festival would not be possible without our tireless volunteers. Over 3,500 volunteer hours from 700 volunteers from corporations and service organizations band together to make this happen. Would you like to be one of them?


We still are looking for Festival volunteers for the weekend of Sept 19 & 20 and prior for logistics and crafts. Volunteers will work with the Arts Council Staff  and committee leaders, young children and their families throughout the park, and receive free passes to the Festival, a t-shirt, and the opportunity to make a difference in the world of the arts.  Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age and available to work a 3.5 hour shift.

There are many volunteer opportunities to fit your schedule.  If you have questions or would like to volunteer for the 2009 Festival, contact  Suzanne Keating at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .


We Need Your Help!

Despite the generosity of countless volunteer hours and donated services, the International Children’s Festival can only continue to be the premiere international arts education experience in the country through sponsorship by corporate and community leaders.

Festival ticket revenues cover only a small portion of the Festival’s overall operating costs. Sponsorships are critical to underwrite the diverse programs, performances and activities at the Festival.

The Magic Spell of Art

The Festival brings select children’s groups from around the world to perform and demonstrate culturally unique art forms, in addition to bringing some of the world’s best professional artists to entertain and educate children of all ages. This year, we will feature Georgia, Serbia, and Spain.
