Oregon Brewers Festival Volunteer Application

The Oregon Brewers Festival is celebrating its 32nd year. You can be a part of this extraordinary event by being a festival volunteer. In addition to a great time, you’ll receive a festival tasting mug, 16 tokens for beers, hat, water bottle, and a special festival shirt.

Preferred shifts go early, so apply as soon as possible in order to receive the shift you want. Please allow 72 hours for scheduling and shift confirmation.

Due to the large amount of volunteers, please arrive 45 minutes before the start time of your shift. You will receive a tap assignment, t-shirt, hat, water bottle, and a short orientation covering OLCC regulations and server duties prior to the start of each shift. Arriving early is important so shifts start on time! There is no designated parking for volunteers so we encourage taking public transportation.
