VOLUNTEERS are needed for this event. If you are interested in volunteering.
If you have volunteered for the Seafood Festival in the past we would love you back to help coordinate all of our weekend activities and if you are new and want to be part of a great volunteer team now is the time to sign up and get involved. Though many past volunteers have already signed up to get their assignments for this 3-day extravaganza, they need more volunteers to cover expanded festival daily times and special events. The Seafood Festival is a fun-filled weekend in which all of our business colleagues, the community, and 400 volunteers pull together to put on a World Class Event! What are you waiting for? Hey, it’s a win-win situation, you’ll have a great time helping out!
