Each year hundreds of our friends, fans, and neighbors contribute their time, skills, and knowledge to making the annual NC Folk Fest happen!
It’s an exciting time for downtown Greensboro – with new real estate and infrastructure projects, and with new businesses! With these developments to the downtown landscape come changes to the way we position and time NC Folk Fest activities – from set-up through the festival to break down.
We are so thankful for the over 800 community member who have already signed up to volunteer for the 2023 Folk Festival. Our Volunteer Local registration site is now closed.
Are you still looking for a volunteer spot at the festival? Be assured, we still have a location just for you!! Check in with the good folks at Volunteer Check-In and they’ll send you to the job where you are needed. We look forward to seeing you at the Greensboro Cultural Center, 200 N. Davie Street, room 203!!
Thank you!!
