Why Volunteer?

Peoria Irish Fest would not have been possible without the many volunteers who offered their time and talents to promote Irish culture, music, dance, and athletic games at our events in Central Illinois.

​

Many of our volunteers return year after year, some signing up whole families or groups. Many long-time volunteers have moved up to leadership positions in our organization.

​

Krista & Cheri, the dynamic duo who have spent the summer working tirelessly to contact past volunteers and recruit new faces. Their dedication is evident in the smiles of long-time volunteers who remember Cheri as the first thing they see when checking in for their shift.  They have one of the most challenging jobs with the festival, coordinating and training hundreds of volunteers and finding a spot that makes everyone happy!

​

Volunteering at Peoria Irish Fest is not just about giving back, it's also about the perks. In exchange for a three-hour shift, you'll receive free admission on the day[s] you work, two complimentary beverage tickets, and a free volunteer t-shirt. But the real reward is the opportunity to meet new friends, reunite with familiar faces, and create long-lasting friendships and memories.

Does this sound like fun? We’d love to have you on board. Be sure to let us know if you have any special talents you’d like to share.
