Volunteer at Appleton's Octoberfest!

It's that time of year; we're looking for volunteers for Appleton's Octoberfest! Our biggest need is currently block captains. Block captains are assigned to a particular block on College Avenue where they monitor the set-up and take-down of booths, keep an eye on attendees roaming their block, and answer questions from the public

This is a great opportunity for non-profit groups to volunteer together! Did you know that if members of your nonprofit group volunteer at Appleton's Octoberfest, you will get special consideration for our Octoberfest grants? This is our giveback to YOU for all you do for Octoberfest and the community.
