Event Leadership: The Planning Team

Meet the volunteers who plan, staff, and manage the event.
 They are easily recognizable in their red polos.

All are VOLUNTEERS in charge of a Festival Committee.
They are the core of the planning and operation of the Festival.

Planning Team members meet as a group year-round to coordinate programming, logistics, operations,
staffing, sanitation, safety and security, and the rest of 'the fun stuff' you find at Festival.

Each Commitee is in charge of a specific Festival area and leads a team of volunteers assigned to those duties.

Please thank these dedicated volunteers - you'll find them in their red shirts!
