Norcross Art Fest Needs You!

Volunteers Needed at Norcross Art Fest - October 6 & 7!

Volunteers Needed for the 2012 Norcross Art Fest!

On Saturday October 6 & Sunday October 7, 2012, the streets of Norcross will be transformed into a delightful Art festival filled with whimsical art, delicious food, fabulous entertainment, and thousands of visitors to our fair city.

We need your help to make this event unforgettable for all of the people who attend the festivities.  There are volunteer opportunities available at all hours of the festival in many areas.

Some of the areas where we could really use YOUR help are in assisting the artists and sponsors unloading and setting up their booths (free breakfast and coffee is included for this shift!), breaking down booths at the end of the festival, traffic control, and Kidz Zone.

All volunteers will receive a T-shirt and a 2012 Norcross Art Fest pin. All adult volunteers are invited to a pizza party at Paizano's on Sunday night after the Festival is over.
