Volunteers needed for Auburn CityFest 2026

March 13 2026

AUBURN, Ala. Auburn’s largest, free outdoor festival is coming up and volunteers are needed. Auburn’s 25th annual CityFest will be held Saturday, April 25 at Kiesel Park from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CityFest is a day full of live music, arts and crafts exhibitors, food vendors, children’s activities and more used to bring the Auburn community together.

CityFest has thrived for years because of the Auburn community’s willingness to make the festival a special event for all guests. Volunteers do so much to help, including setting up tents and tables for vendors, tending to the children’s stations and managing crowds. Volunteers will receive lunch, merchandise and community service hours if needed.

Auburn CityFest is looking for individuals, groups or service organizations to help make this year the best event yet. Their goal is to make this year’s CityFest a memorable and wonderful experience for not only attendees, but for the volunteers as well.

Volunteer applications can be found on the Auburn CityFest Website or through the registration program MyRec. Applications are due by Wednesday, April 22.

For any questions, please email Sara Custer, CityFest Co- Coordinator, at scuster@auburnal.gov or visit the Auburn CityFest Website for more information.
