Volunteers are the key to making this event a success. We are seeking qualified and enthusiastic volunteers to serve and help us bring this great community event to back to Sandy Springs for the seventh year.

You will be assigned based on festival needs at that time. You will not receive an assignment before arriving, just a confirmation for the shift time you selected (if available). Food That Rocks is an outdoor food festival – please be aware that there will be lots of standing and in some cases walking around the festival for most of the assignments, some areas may require lifting/moving of festival supplies. Lots of smiling and a helpful attitude a must! :-) Volunteer Assignments will include: · Event Setup · Floaters · Ticketing/Check in · Chef’s Assistants · General Event Support Volunteer Shifts Volunteers are needed on Friday, August 19 between 6PM to 10:00 PM and on Saturday, August 20 from 11AM-3PM and again from 6PM to 10PM.

We ask that you remain flexible and patient! Please note that even if you sign up with a friend, you may be needed in different areas and may not necessarily "work together" during the event. Now that you know a little more about us, we’d love to know a little more about you. Fill out the Volunteer Application below and hit "Submit"! We will follow up with you in a few days to confirm your participation and assigned shift.
