The Mansfield Downtown Partnership invites residents, students, community organizations, and local businesses to volunteer at the 18th Annual Celebrate Mansfield Festival on Saturday, October 2.
The Celebrate Mansfield Festival, the largest community event in town, highlights the people, businesses, and community groups that make Mansfield a wonderful place to live and grow! The Festival takes place from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM on and around Betsy Paterson Square in Downtown Storrs.
The Mansfield Downtown Partnership relies on the support of volunteers to make the Festival a success. Volunteers can sign up as individuals or with a group, for an hour or two or for the whole day.
“Volunteering at the Celebrate Mansfield Festival is a great way to give back to our community, meet new neighbors, and have some fun!” said Mansfield Downtown Partnership Executive Director Cynthia van Zelm. “We greatly appreciate the enthusiastic support of so many volunteers to make this event a fun day for the whole community.”
The Partnership has opportunities to help with a variety of tasks, including set-up (11:30 AM – 2:00 PM), low waste efforts (12:00 PM – 8:00 PM), booth break down (5:30 PM – 7:00 PM), and clean-up (7:30 – 9:30 PM).
Verification of service is available upon request following the event. Volunteers receive an official Celebrate Mansfield Festival t-shirt upon signing in.
Interested volunteers can sign up on the Festival website, downtownstorrsfestival.org, or by contacting the Mansfield Downtown Partnership by email or call 860.429.2740.
