Volunteer Opportunities
Welcome to the volunteer sign-up page. Sign up yourself, your family, and friends to help at the Ocala Arts Festival or Symphony Under the Stars. There are many ways to get involved!
Before or after your volunteer duty, allow time to take in the festival. Visit artists’ booths, tour the Student art show, enjoy the entertainment, try festival foods, or just enjoy Historic Downtown Ocala!
