Volunteer shifts for each position fill up on a first come, first serve basis. Shift selection is made available for volunteers in the order in which we received your application and deposit. Additional shifts may open up closer to the festival if/when someone cancels.
BCMF 2025 volunteer shift selection will begin the week of May 8, 2025. We’ll send you an email with instructions on how to view available shifts and sign up for the two that work best for you! These emails will be sent out in the same order that we received completed applications. If you filled out the application and paid your deposit, we will send you an email as soon as shift selection is available for you.
If you need to cancel your BCMF 2025 Volunteer Application for any reason, you must do so in writing by May 1, 2025 via email to volunteers@barefootcountrymusicfest.com. Due to the overwhelming number of applications we receive, any cancellation requests after May 1, 2025 will forfeit the deposit. All refunds will be processed within 30 days of the festival ending, including cancellation refunds.
BCMF volunteers work two 8-hour shifts in exchange for general admission access to the festival!
Yes! One of the things we love to do is offer amazing photographers an opportunity to join our festival production team in capturing the event! Spots are limited, but we’re always looking for new individuals.

We appreciate the offer, but unfortunately, we can only accept volunteers who can commit to working at least 16 hours (two 8-hour shifts).
Everything’s better with your BFF! Volunteers are able to select their shift preferences in the order in which deposits are received. In order to receive the same (or similar) shift selection as your BFF, we suggest you both complete your applications and pay your deposits on the same day. We cannot guarantee what shift assignments will be available to share with your friends, so be sure to sign up early because we want you and your BFF to have fun!
In exchange for becoming a BCMF Volunteer, you will receive a super cool t-shirt, a 3-day Volunteer Wristband (providing you with General Admission access to the festival), and an unforgettable experience! Volunteers may enjoy the festival at their leisure outside of their assigned volunteer shifts.
