More than 200 volunteers are needed to help with the 2022 Suwanee Fest, Sept. 17 and 18 in Town Center Park, 330 Town Center Avenue.

Volunteers assist with vendor set-up and load-out, picking up trash, parade line-up, parking, running errands, relieving vendors for short breaks and more. Plus, a free festival t-shirt is provided.

The two-day festival kicks off with a parade Saturday morning before the crowds enjoy 200 vendors and exhibitors and 15 entertainment acts. This year’s theme is “The Greatest in the Galaxy,” so expect some out-of-this-world surprises.

Volunteers must be at least 14 years old or adults. Available shifts and descriptions: https://suwaneefest.com/volunteers/.
