You Make It Happen!!
Without the support and generosity of the volunteers, we would not be able to offer the Southwest's largest, four-day visual arts and entertainment festival as a FREE gift to the community. Thank you for giving of your time and energy and making this year's Festival a success!
Volunteer Check-In
Volunteer Check In is located at 5th & Houston, behind the stage. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket if the weather dictates. Please arrive approximately 30 minutes prior to the beginning of your shift. We offer free fountain sodas at the Check In tent. If you're working a booth (especially if you're working more than one shift), please feel free to bring a small cooler of drinks and snacks (no alcohol). If you're working outside of a booth, consider bringing some sunscreen and lip balm. We do not offer lockers or a secure lockup, so plan on leaving valuables in your car or at home.
Parking
>Trinity Railway Express – This is the best way to avoid parking altogether. A complete schedule is located on the TRE website. Ride the train from any one of the stops from Dallas to Fort Worth's Intermodel Transportation Center located at 9th and Jones St. Once off the train the festival is two short blocks away. For 2010, the train will run all four days of the festival, including Sunday.
City Center - If you're working a weekend shift or after 5:00pm, the Sundance Square Parking is free. (between 3rd & 4th Street enter from Calhoun St. or Jones St.).
Private Lots - There are private parking lots scattered throughout the Festival perimeter. Parking is pay as you go.
