A large part of the success of the festival lies with our volunteers who give their time so generously. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who would like to become involved in Sydney’s creative arts and cultural sector or gain experience in the entertainment sector and meet some new friends! Importantly, it also gives you the chance to see a bumper line up of Sydney’s artists and events for free.
