NATCHITOCHES – The 2024 Natchitoches-Northwestern State University Folk Festival is seeking volunteers to join the fun and experience the festival from within. Every year the festival relies on volunteers to help with the various components such as providing security and other positions as needed. Volunteers will work inside air-conditioned Prather Coliseum and will be needed from 6 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday July 20.
Perks of volunteering include free admission to all events the day of volunteering, listening to live music and greeting people and a free commemorative t-shirt for working five or more hours. Volunteers do not have to be an NSU employee, student or resident of Natchitoches. Volunteers are not paid.
“The festival would not be a success without the valuable and deeply appreciated help of our volunteer corps,” said Dr. Shane Rasmussen, director of the Louisiana Folklife Center. “Thank you so much for being willing to help keep the Natchitoches-NSU Folk Festival alive and kicking.”
