Volunteer Priorities
FUN is why we volunteer! Smiling is contagious. Safety is always the first priority: this is why we ask that no alcoholic beverages be consumed while volunteering. Patience is always a must – We have 200 devoted volunteers and 55,000 attendees at ArtFest Fort Myers during our festival weekend.

What to Wear
Wear your FREE volunteer T-shirt – provided to you at Check-In. Dress comfortably for outdoors and listen to the weather. Bring rain gear, if rain is predicted – we still need you. Don't forget your sunscreen! Comfortable shoes are a must, our festival site is one mile long and you will probably be on your feet.

Purses??
Think about leaving your purse at home. Wear a fanny pack or similar. We have no place to secure your valuables.

Parking
Volunteer Parking is in the Century Link Employee Parking Lot. Enter the lot from Lee Street between Second St. and First St. – look for the signs.
