To get started, head over to our Become a Volunteer page to review all the details. You’ll need to complete the application and submit your refundable deposit to secure your spot.
If you still have questions after checking out the volunteer info page, feel free to reach out to us at volunteers@barefootcountrymusicfest.com.
Volunteering at BCMF comes with some great perks! In exchange for your time, you’ll receive an official volunteer t-shirt and a 4-day General Admission volunteer wristband, giving you access to one of country music’s greatest parties.
Volunteers are welcome to enjoy the festival at their leisure whenever they aren’t working their assigned shifts!
Yes, we are always looking for talented photographers to join our festival production team! Because photography credentials are limited, spots fill up quickly.
If you’re interested in capturing the festival, please review the requirements and submit your application here.
You’ll have the opportunity to select your own shifts! Positions fill up on a first-come, first-served basis, and selection is opened to volunteers in the order that both the application and deposit are received.
Access to shift selection is provided in the order in which volunteer applications are received. Those who apply earliest will have the most options to choose from.
To increase the likelihood of coordinating shifts with a friend, we recommend applying on the same day. While we cannot guarantee that identical shift assignments will remain available for multiple people, applying early offers the best opportunity to select matching schedules.
We appreciate the offer, but unfortunately, we can only accept volunteers who can commit to working at least 16 hours (two 8-hour shifts).
Volunteer shift selection for BCMF 2027 begins the week of May 10th. As long as you’ve submitted your application, you’re all set—we’ll reach out with an email as soon as your selection window opens. Be sure to keep an eye on your inbox as we get closer to the festival!
Emails are sent in the order that completed applications were received. Please note that an application is only considered complete once both the form and the deposit have been submitted.
There is a designated window for volunteers to cancel their application and receive a refund of their deposit. Specific cutoff dates and additional details regarding the cancellation process can be found on our volunteer information page.
