Volunteer

Our volunteers make the Festival a truly 'Special Event'!

Every year, more than 1,000 volunteers make this festival run – there wouldn't be a festival without them! Our volunteers come from all over the country. Local residents, summer residents, and vacationers of all ages volunteer for at least one shift on the grounds. People plan their vacations around their obligation at the Festival.

Each volunteer receives an exclusive Maine Lobster Festival Volunteer T-Shirt – these shirts are not for sale and can only be obtained by volunteering! In addition volunteers receive free admission on the day they volunteer.
