THIS IS AN ALL-VOLUNTEER EVENT, made possible only by its energetic participants. We have over 90 small volunteer slots to fill to make it all happen. If everyone at the festival would sign up for one small volunteer task, the festival will be a smashing success! Please check the online volunteer schedule at http://arcatafestival.wikispaces.com to see which slots still need to be filled. Thank you!
