Production Assistants & Stage Crew (PAs) are the backbone, muscle, and hustle of the entire festival. These folks keep the machine running when everyone else is losing their minds. Let’s break it down:

Role Summary:
You’re the festival’s Swiss Army knife. As a PA or Stage Crew member, you’ll jump in wherever you're needed — setting up tents, hauling gear, running cables, placing signage, chasing down missing water bottles, wrangling artists, or helping with crowd flow. You're the first one in and the last one out, and if a job needs doing, you’re already halfway through it before someone even asks.
This is a fast-paced, all-hands-on-deck position for people who aren’t afraid to sweat, hustle, and lift a few heavy things (or spirits).
Duties & Responsibilities:
-Assist with stage setup, gear transport, and teardown
-Support sound, lighting, and video crews with cables, cases, and cues
-Help execute load-ins and load-outs efficiently and safely
-Act as runner for artists, production staff, and vendor teams
-Support signage installation, barricade setup, and general infrastructure
-Keep performance areas clean, stocked, and safe
-Monitor crowds near stage and backstage to maintain security
-Work closely with Stage Managers, Tech Leads, and other departments
-Be ready for last-minute tasks that come out of nowhere (they will)
Qualifications:
-Experience in live event production is a huge plus, but not required
-Must be physically able to lift 50+ lbs, bend, walk, and work outdoors all day
-Comfortable with long shifts and unpredictable schedules
-A team-first attitude and a no-complaints mindset
-Can take direction and take initiative
-Reliable, punctual, and able to show up when it matters
Bonus if you:
-Know your way around an XLR cable or a stage box
-Have worked festivals, concerts, or theatrical productions before
-Own a headlamp, multitool, and steel-toed boots (legend status)
Whether you're setting the stage for a national act or fixing a fallen sign 2 minutes before gates open — you’re making magic happen behind the scenes. And trust us, none of it works without you.
