- Those who complete 16 hours of volunteer service will also be entered into a raffle to receive a ticket to either, entrance into the MXLAN eSPORT gaming, or other happenings at the festival!
There are several areas needing assistance. This Need Post is for:
Calenda Parade
This volunteer position will participate in a Calenda-style street parade with giant dancing dolls, live music and more! Volunteers who choose these shifts will be walking in the parade with one of the following assignments: holding signs or poles that sustain parade items, encouraging the crowd to participate in the parade, or help in moving the parade along (as it makes stops along the way). Shifts are 1.5 hours. We ask that volunteers arrive 30 minutes prior to shift start to meet at Volunteer HQs for briefing. Total volunteer time is 2 hours.
Make time to view the mandatory MXLAN Orientation Video, as the “in-person” sessions have passed.
Below is a link to a volunteer orientation video for those serving in the Caledna Parade:
You will receive a confirmation email with a Volunteer Information Form that must be completed and turned in before you are permitted to serve. Details in email.
