VOLUNTEER APPLICATION

The success of the North Carolina Azalea Festival is made possible through the hard work and dedication of a large corps of community volunteers. Nearly 100 volunteer committees plan and organize events such as the Parade, the Street Fair, and the community clean-up called Azalea Sweep, as well as critical operations such as communications, transportation, sponsor relations, and event hospitality.

INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING FOR THE 2026 FESTIVAL? Volunteer postings and opportunities will be updated in early 2026. Be sure to set an alarm and check back! 

>>> If you have any immediate questions or are interested in supporting any of the Festival year-round events, email Volunteer@NCAzaleaFestival.org. 

The best way to get on one of the various committees is to start with a simple volunteer opportunity in one of the larger and more complex events where a lot of talented help is needed, such as with the Parade or Street Fair.  From here, you can showcase your abilities and desire to be more involved with the Festival.  If you’d like to join this special volunteer group, please complete the application by clicking on the Register button and tell us about your skills and interests. Volunteer opportunities may be available for a single day or involve a year-round commitment. We will work to get you involved in a way that you find both meaningful and enjoyable.

Communication with potential new volunteers generally occurs in the Fall, and periodically throughout Festival season (Oct-April).

**GROUP REGISTRATIONS**:  Bring your group to volunteer at the Parade or at the Azalea Sweep Beautification event.  Please click to register and select the Group Registration option to get your group signed up!  If you have any questions about group registration please reach out to our office. Thank you for your interest in the North Carolina Azalea Festival. We look forward to working with you!
