We'll meet at Desert Foothills Park Friday, November 26, from about 11a-5p. This day is very physical and entails setting up chairs, tables, putting stakes in the ground, digging in sand, carrying buckets (some heavy, some not so heavy), helping put up signage around the park & in front of each game/booth, getting all rides/booths ready to work the next day, stuffing volunteer goodie bags, etc. If you can't stay all day, no worries, we'll take what we can get...it all helps tremendously! Tennis shoes and comfortable wear is highly recommended. No need to sign up, just show up!

As you know, this is our largest event and we NEED about 300 volunteers to pull it off! Donating even a few valuable hours in your busy holiday schedule helps us and our community shine bright. During the event day, we ask volunteers to work in shifts:
Shift #1 - 10:30 am - 1:30 pm 
Shift #2 - 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm 
Shift #3 - 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm 
Break Down - 7pm to 10pm - NEED ages 14+
Most volunteers work one or all three shifts if they are able. Keep in mind, the third shift and breaking down is always the most difficult to fill, so if you are able, please sign up for the end of the days' shifts! These volunteer opportunities are endless & FUN; selling tickets, working game booths, manning an inflatable activity, working in concession booths, helping to set-up, clean-up, break-down and much more!  Every year each volunteer will receive a special "thank you" goody bag provided by Festival of Lights and local sponsors to show our extreme appreciation.
