Volunteers

The festival, year-round in its preparation, is comprised of 25 committees that are chaired or co-chaired by some of the most loyal, dedicated and seasoned volunteers known to this community. In addition, on April 20th, it will take a group of 400 volunteers working shifts of two hours or longer to make the festival a success.  Volunteers do it all, from setting the festival up to breaking it down, and everything in between.  A special thank you to all those who gave of their time and effort to make the 2012 CDAF a success!

Want to get involved?

Opportunities for 2014 Sponsorships, donations, and volunteers are open and we welcome all those interested in helping.  Contact the SAAC office at 662.324.3080.
