Lock Fest is totally run by volunteers. The success of Lock Fest depends on the community involvement to make it happen. We have a variety of ways to help, from assisting with setup the Friday evening before Lock Fest, to many jobs during Lock Fest, including parking guides,  greeters, cleanup. Several shifts during the day can be selected. If you would like to help with Lock Fest, please click on the link for the Volunteer Application Form. Your help is greatly appreciated!
