Canton Pickle Fest wouldn’t be possible without the help of amazing volunteers. Whether you’re looking to give back to the community, meet new people, or be part of a fun, pickle-loving event, we’d love to have you join us.

We’re building a friendly, supportive volunteer team to help make this year’s festival a great experience for everyone — attendees, vendors, and volunteers alike.

Volunteer Opportunities:

  • Event Setup and Cleanup-

    • Come a bit early or stay after the festival to help us leave the streets better than we found them.

    • Help with arts and crafts and verify winners for prizes for the scavenger hunt.

  • Facilitate the Pickle Judges Booth, ensuring a smooth and efficient voting process.

    • Comfort with technology is essential, as you'll assist attendees in entering their votes and accessing real-time results.

  • Vendor and Attendee Relations

    • Acting as friendly liaisons between vendors and attendees, offering assistance and support as required. Facilitating surveys with both attendees and vendors to gather valuable feedback and insights.
