2026 Kingdom Faire

Described as a "Renaissance festival with a twist," Kingdom Faire is a live immersive experience that brings together performers, artisans, and community members for a weekend of theater, storytelling, and celebration. Now operating under Rising Tide Theatrical Collective, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the festival is built on a commitment to accessibility, creativity, and a fair and welcoming environment for everyone who walks through the gates. Of course, none of that happens without volunteers!

Volunteer Roles:

• Customer Experience: This team is the face of the festival and often the first and last person a guest interacts with. Roles include:
  • Box Office: handle ticket sales, will call, and guest questions at point of entry
  • Check-In: welcome guests, scan tickets, and direct foot traffic at the gate
• Pub Team: The festival pub is one of the most active and social spaces on site. This crew keeps the energy going. Roles include:
  • Game Master: run interactive games and activities for guests in and around the pub space
  • Hawker: move through the crowd, engage guests, and promote the pub experience
• Operations: The engine room of the festival. This team keeps things moving across the entire site. Roles include:
  • Production Assistants: support the production team across multiple needs including food prep, running supplies and materials between areas, and managing crowd flow
• Setup and Strike Team: These are the people who build the world and take it down. It is hard work and some of the most satisfying. Roles include:
  • Setup: assist with installation of sets, props, signage, and operational infrastructure prior to opening
  • Strike: break down and load out equipment, sets, and materials at the end of the event
• Parking and Grounds: help guests navigate arrival, parking areas, and site logistics from the moment they pull in
• Open Suggestions: festival production covers a wide range of needs including photography, social media, accessibility support, first aid, and more. See a way to contribute or have a skill or interest that is not listed above? Express interest to share it!

Volunteer Qualifications:

• Volunteers should come ready to be part of a team, take direction from their area lead, and show up with the same energy and spirit that makes Kingdom Faire what it is.
• Kingdom Faire is built on a few core values that do not bend: fair treatment for all participants, a safe and inclusive environment, and an experience that is accessible to our community. Volunteers are part of upholding those values every single day of the festival.

Schedule:

• Festival runs from May 22-31, 2026
• Volunteers are needed any time between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
