Vendor Spotlight:

“Hello! I am a plant based baker. I started this journey in 2024 after noticing there wasn’t a lot of areas that serve the community of those who are plant based. Not only is everything 100% organic and vegan, but I also have gluten free options as well. I sell everything out of a horse trailer that was refurbished by me and my family. I’m looking forward to joining the West End Celebration for the very first time to share all of my plant based goodies.

- Tiffany”

Calling all helping hands and big hearts!

West End Celebration 2025 is around the corner - and we need you to help make it amazing!

We’re looking for volunteers to join our crew and be part of the energy that makes this community festival come to life. Whether you have a few hours or a whole day to spare, your support means the world to us (and to every artist, vendor, kid, and music lover who shows up to enjoy the magic).

Here’s what we could use help with:

Logistics & Parking Support – help keep things flowing behind the scenes

Booth Setup Crew – lend a hand in the morning to get our vendors up and running

Vendor Support – watch a booth for a bit so the folks behind the art can grab a bite

Kids’ Corner Supervision – keep an eye on our sandbox and art station (and maybe get a little messy!)

Waste Sorting & Recycling Help – be a local legend and help us keep it clean

Street Team & Info Support – help share flyers and guide folks during the festival

No experience necessary — just a friendly spirit, a can-do attitude, and comfy shoes.
