About the application

Although we no longer charge admission to enter the fairgrounds, the gates are the first step in the MLF experience. Gate monitors are tasked with welcoming visitors, counting attendees, handing out festival guides, along with helping to monitor the donation boxes.

Terms & Conditions

All volunteers will receive a t-shirt and a 1/2 price meal coupon (for use in the lobster tent, chowder hut, or lobster cafe) when checking in. We recommend comfortable shoes and pants/shorts/skirts you do not mind getting a little messy. Water is available to all volunteers at any time. PLEASE let us know in advance if you have any other needs. We are happy to accommodate as much as we are able.
