Volunteer
The Street Fair component of Community Festival is a wonderful and FUN way to become involved with ComFest. There are great jobs to do and a fabulous group of people to work with. You get those treasured ComFest t-shirts (that you can only get by being a volunteer) and chips that can buy beverages and food. Keep in mind, Street Fair always wears the brightest color (so you can be seen on the street), funny hats and rhinestone tiaras. Flashy, indeed! Fun, you bet! As a Street Fair volunteer you become the FACE of ComFest to over 300 vendors and much of the public that visits the event. You are an ambassador of sorts.

All have instituted new health and safety standards in how they operate. Visit shortnorth.org to view business listings and enjoy the spirit of ComFest with a trip to the Short North all weekend.
