During the day we need lots of help at the log-in booths and also moving pumpkins. Extra hands are very much needed all day!
Community Night: A continuation of volunteers needed into the evening with additional help needed for crowd control with hay rides, distributing pumpkins and manning the log-in booths! Lots of fun from beginning to end!

Sunday, October 31
Pumpkin Festival: The jobs for volunteers are too numerous to list, but we have needs for any type of volunteer – young and old are welcome! Volunteers are needed from 10 a.m. until 11 p.m.
Let us know the hours you are available and your interest and we will find the ideal activity for you. For example, we need candle lighters, help with seed spitting contest, pumpkin valets, help cleaning up, face painters… just to name a few!
Volunteering for the Sarasota Pumpkin Festival is something you will never forget – and I guarantee you, it will become a tradition for you and your friends and family!
GET INVOLVED AND JOIN IN THE FUN! Groups of volunteers are welcome; it makes for a fun day to volunteers with your friends and co-workers.

Festival Clean-up: Would you believe that by noontime there is no evidence that over 20,000 people and 10,000 pumpkins were at the Sarasota Pumpkin Festival the day before? The clean-up crews are amazing, and we can always use hard working, dedicated volunteers to make this end-of-the-festival endeavor quicker, more efficient and….the more the merrier!! Clean-up starts at 8 a.m. – and goes until complete!
