Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival offers free two-day pass to fest volunteers

Eric Christenson |

This summer’s Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival is now accepting applications for volunteers – during and book-ending the two-day fest – from Tuesday July 14 through Sunday July 19 at the Country Jam grounds just southwest of Eau Claire.

Volunteers will have to work two shifts of six hours in the six-day span (and yeah, you gotta be available during the actual festival), but the major reward is free two-day passes to enjoy the sights and sounds of Eaux Claires free of charge when you’re not working. Lodging is not provided.

Volunteer Requirements

• You must be 18 years or older to apply.
• You must be available to work July 17 through 19, 2015.
• You must pay the $10, non-refundable application fee to be considered.
• If selected, you will have to put down a deposit for a 2 day festival pass ($135) via PayPal, after you have completed your two six-hour shifts, we will refund the deposit within 7 days of the festival’s end.
• You must be willing to work in the designated department you are assigned to.

One cool thing is that if you’re selected, you can try to wiggle your six-hour shifts around so you don’t miss Melt-Banana! Or any of your favorite acts, for that matter! (But you should seriously be careful not to miss Melt-Banana.)

Have the $10 application fee in hand, fill out the questionnaire at eauxclaires.com/volunteer, and you could very well be on your way to enjoying – and contributing to – Eaux Claires.
