Lend a Hand
The support of our community is an important ingredient for the success of the Festival. There are three ways you can lend a hand: Be a sponsor, volunteer to help, or join the many supporting organizations that have already pitched in.
Be a sponsor
Many local businesses have become Festival sponsors. We invite you to join them.
Call 510 234-3512 or send us an e-mail, telling us you'd like to learn about the different levels of sponsorship. We'll help you get involved!
Be a volunteer
Volunteering to work at the Festival is a great way to enjoy the fun and energy of the event while helping to ensure its success.
Please take a moment to fill out this application. Then either e-mail it back to us, send it by postal mail, or fax it.
