With just days to go until the 2025 Erie Blues & Jazz Festival, organizers are making an urgent appeal for volunteers to help make the event a success.

The free two-day festival returns to Frontier Park on August 2 and 3, celebrating over 30 years of music, culture, and community spirit. But to keep the music playing, more hands are needed across key areas including setup, hospitality, parking, merchandise, logistics, and fundraising.

Volunteers can sign up at eriebluesandjazz.com/get-involved. Opportunities include:

Information Booth & Hospitality

Green Team (recycling/cleanup)

Parking & Directions

“Bucket Brigade” donation collection

All volunteers receive a t-shirt, water, snacks, and a lot parking pass.
