Volunteer Opportunity - Great Chicago Fire Festival

 

Redmoon is seeking volunteers for The Great Chicago Fire Festival on Saturday, October 4, 2014 and we’d like YOU to join the volunteer team! Please see below for more information about the event and volunteer opportunities. 

The Great Chicago Fire Festival

On Saturday, October 4, the inaugural Great Chicago Fire Festival will light up the city with a spectacle of fire on the Chicago River.

Highlights of the Spectacle will include fiery cauldrons lowered from the bridges, hundreds of kayakers pulling flaming buoys and prairie gardens, and three floating sculptures resembling pre-1871 homes that will be set ablaze, each revealing a dramatic, symbolic interior core. The finale will feature a fireworks display set to music and moving tribute to Chicago's neighborhoods.

That afternoon, the riverfront and Wacker Drive will host a pre-show bazaar featuring crafts, food, performances, art and entertainment from Redmoon’s neighborhood partners: A celebration of the people of Chicago.

In partnership with the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District, this free event was created to unite Chicago’s neighborhoods and celebrate Chicago’s grit, greatness and renewal following the Fire of 1871.  Like Mardi Gras or the Running of the Bulls, The Great Chicago Fire Festival will become a signature event for the City of Chicago.

Volunteer Opportunities

An event of this scale would be impossible without the help of volunteers. We are looking for 500 volunteers to help with lines, crowd flow, check in, hospitality, security, running of small items from one end of the festival to the other, and providing information to spectators, guests and participants. 

We have many volunteer shifts available for groups of all sizes. Most shifts will be during or close to the following times:

Saturday, October 4, 2014

8 a.m. - 11 a.m.

10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

1 p.m. - 5 p.m.

4 p.m. - 8 p.m.

7 p.m. - 11 p.m.

Times of all shifts are subject to change. The shifts listed above are meant as a general guideline to understand availability. The actual time of your volunteer shift may be different than the exact times listed above. 

To participate as a volunteer, please fill out this Google Form click here.

If you have any questions, please feel welcome to email volunteer@redmoon.org or call 312.850.8440.

As a small token of our thanks for your time and talents, we will provide a meal, beverages and discounted tickets to upcoming Redmoon shows. 

Many thanks for your generosity! We look forward to hearing from you soon!
