Interested in Volunteering for a Wicomico Tourism Event?

The success of Wicomico Tourism’s annual festivals and special events would not be possible without the help of volunteers. Volunteering for Wicomico County is a wonderful way to explore your hometown and discover all that it has to offer. It is also a great way to make a positive impact on the community and meet new people.

The Autumn Wine Festival, and Pork in the Park plus many other events throughout the year rely on the help of volunteers. Each Wicomico Tourism event offers a variety of volunteering opportunities and multiple time frames to fit your schedule. Each event also offers specific benefits to volunteers; these benefits are explained on the individual volunteer forms below but often include a free T-shirt and festival admission.

Wicomico Tourism is grateful to the community supporting its events through volunteering, and new volunteers are always welcomed! Select the event you would like to be a part of and complete the volunteer form.
